Performed across two nights at the Royal Dramaten Theatre in Stockholm in March of 2017, 'Who by Fire' is a theatrical staging of Leonard Cohen's songs, poems, and letters. Conceived and anchored by First Aid Kit, the band are joined by an array of guest artists, two actors, an 8-person band and strings, and on two songs a 20+ person choir. An incredibly ambitious undertaking, they selected and sequenced all of the material performed, and collaborated with the theatre and their music director to stage and orchestrate the show.
