THE VILLA – A bizarre dinner gathering with Robert & Mikael
Entertainment
The Story.
We have all heard about several ‘Facebook parties‘ that spiralled out of control or posh clubs with too much hustle and bustle. Those generic parties are history! If you want to escape the mainstream and lose your mind in an isolated place then the Villa is your ticket to bliss. Robert and Mikael have created a revolutionary new privé dinner party concept, behind closed doors. The guests enter a world of the outrageous, prohibited, and mysterious. To prevent any secrets leaking outside of the place every guest must hand in their mobile phone upon arrival. The rule is what happens inside, stays inside. The whole venue is used as a stage, the guests never know what to expect and are constantly surprised by impromptu performances. From dancers and entertainers to musicians and acrobatic artists, all with a little touch of fetish, sensuality, and raw physicality.
As the evening unfolds you will get an underlying feeling of being at an exclusive vip party blended with the freak show The Box. The concept-driven aesthetics and secret house party theme lend a unique ambiance to the entire event. The Villa is an unforgettable experience, a scavenger hunt of the bizarre, accompanied with amazing style, atmospheric music, delicious food and delectable drinks. But it would not be completed without its tireless hosts Robert and Mikael, their dinner party concept is all about delivering a real emotional experience for their guests, to create many stories that the guests will carry with them long after the actual event.
Warning: this is not another generic event. The VILLA is an edgy experience for corporates, small groups and friends looking for the ultimate privé dinner party that is totally out of the box.

The Profile.
Behind the paranormal activity experience, you will find a dream team of Swedish ghost hunters, mediums and producers.
Andreas Österlund is one of Sweden’s most respected mediums, known from the famous TV series The Unknown (Det Okända), his own YouTube series The Creeps (Kalla Kårar) and Dplay’s success story of Ghost Hunt (Spökjakt). On his side you will find his girlfriend and fellow medium Jenny Hamren. They are always on the road together to visit haunted places.
The LaxTon was founded by brothers Tony Martinsson and Niclas Laaksonen in 2014. The duo make up Sweden´s leading paranormal investigating team. They search for paranormal phenomena, supernatural events that cannot be explained by science, that take place in Sweden and the rest of the world.
Their interest in the paranormal was aroused in the 1980’s when they were involved in a tragic family event and a series of unexplained activities took place. They became ghost hunters and not a medium team because their investigations use the latest technology. They have published a book, they visit the most haunted places, they participate in a tv series with the eminent Jocke and Jonna and most recently you will see them in the Dplay´s series “Ghost Hunt” (Spökjakt).
Lastly Fred Andersson is a feature producer and editor of The Unknown and Ghost Hunt. Part of his job is to detect haunted houses in Sweden and dig into their dark background story. He also works as occultist and author. He has plenty of knowledge and expertise from TV productions and a personal involvement in the esoteric sphere so he is the perfect companion to experience this with you.

His big breakthrough came with the comedy TV-series S*M*A*S*H (1990), written and directed by Måns Herngren himself and Hannes Holm. From this television success they became a great script duo and directed the feature films En på miljonen (1995), Adam & Eva (1997), Shit happens (2000) and The reunion (2002).
