Amanda Romare in Conversation After Tvångstango
For the first time since the filming of Tvångstango, author Amanda Romare and psychologist Erik Andersson meet again. This time on stage – with a new novel, a former therapeutic relationship, and many unanswered questions between them.
Much has happened since the series aired. Erik has now read Amanda’s latest novel, Judas. And he has questions. Many questions.
The conversation moves along the border between therapy and storytelling, diagnosis and identity. What happens when experiences from treatment take shape as literature? What changes when the therapist enters the text – and when the former patient takes ownership of her own narrative?
Amanda Romare made her debut in 2021 with the novel Halva Malmö består av killar som dumpat mig (Half of Malmö Is Made Up of Guys Who Dumped Me), which became a major commercial success, was translated into several languages and adapted for film in 2025. The same year, she published Judas, a darker and more existential novel about control, guilt and relationships.
Amanda has lived with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) since childhood. In Tvångstango, viewers followed her treatment with Erik Andersson, Associate Professor at Karolinska Institutet and one of Sweden’s leading experts on OCD. The series portrayed Amanda’s attempts to understand her diagnosis, challenge her fears and find ways to live with – and reduce – her intrusive thoughts.
This evening is not a continuation of the series, but a new encounter. A conversation about what happens after.
