Life

Julia Högberg was born Karolina Julia Sofia Högberg in 1982 . From 1994 to 1997 she attended the Hässelbygårds school in Hässelby, where she took the musical-artistic course and was taught music, dance and theater. This was followed by a visit to Södra Latins Gymnasium in Stockholm from 1997 to 2000 , where she also took the theater course. With the desire to become an actress, Högberg switched to the National Theater Academy in Stockholm from 2001 to 2005. There she played leading roles in productions of Shakespeare's Was ihr wollt , Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard and Stig Dagerman's Streber , while in 2003 at the Stockholm City Theater in Dostoyevsky's The Idiot and in 2005 in the Swedish play Var är alla? the Riksteatern Company performed.

Parallel to her work at the theater, Högberg appeared in Swedish short film productions in 2002 and 2004, while in 2006 she made her feature film debut in the supporting role of the kidnap victim Katharina Swartz in the crime film Moreno und das Schweigen , based on a novel by Håkan Nesser . Her breakthrough as a film actress followed a year later with the lead role in Klaus Härös Finnish-Swedish co-production Den nyahabenniskan , which takes on the compulsory sterilization practiced in Sweden from 1935 to 1976 as a subject. In the drama, which is set in 1951, Högberg plays the young Gertrud, who comes from an extended family and is transferred to a state home. There the naive girl and other inmates from poor backgrounds, the mentally ill and epilepsy patients are prepared for the procedure before a liaison with the local groundskeeper and a pregnancy lead to a dramatic turnaround.

The nyaomanniskan received praise from the film critics and Högberg's first leading role in a cinema brought her a nomination for the most important Swedish film award for best actress , the Guldbagge . At the award ceremony, however, she lost out to Sofia Ledarp ( Who you love ). In the same year she was also positively received in the self-written relationship drama Mamma, pappa, barn, about loneliness . Eller någon gång måste ju mina föräldrar ha friat till varandra on the national children's and youth theater stage Ung Scen Öst in Linköping . Henceforth Högberg worked increasingly as a freelance theater actress, among others, at theaters in Linköping, Gothenburg and Malmo and went to Sweden with the Riksteatern on tour in 2012, she worked as Célimène in a production of Molière's The Misanthrope at Västanå teater in Sunne to see.
