Spex
KalmarSpexarna: The Kalmar Nation Spex
The Kalmar Spex has existed in its current form since 2009. For those who aren't familiar with the concept of spex, a “spex” is a comedy theatre written and performed by students. In the spring of 2012 the Kalmarspex became the first spex in Lund's history to be written and performed entirely in English. This is a tradition that has lived on, which contributes to our spex getting bigger and more popular each year. Our spex still is the only one that is consequently entirely in English, which we take huge pride in.
For more information about Spex activities, you can check out their Facebook page! For other questions and tickets, you can reach the foremen in charge at spex@kalmarnation.nu.

Oops! I Accidentally Odysseyed Too Far and Reached the Edge of Reality
Who hasn't heard of the legendary hero Odysseus, and his adventures? His titillating tales of trials, tribulations, and true love were written by the famous poet Homer long ago, and have lived on for many centuries. But it seems that Homer's search for the perfect story was not without some trials of its own. What exactly was happening behind the scenes? When the debut of his show does not go at all as expected, a desperate Homer makes a bold decision that takes his story completely off the rails. But his choice will have bigger consequences than he could ever have foreseen... His beloved creation Odysseus, the star of his show, starts noticing things he shouldn't, asking questions, and prodding at the edges of the world he has always believed to be his home. Will Homer be able to steer his story in the right direction? Or was chaos maybe the secret ingredient he needed to finally create lightning in a bottle? We welcome you to follow Odysseus and his companions as they explore difficult themes such as truth, reality, parenthood, and what it truly means to be a Hero.
