And the reactions on, for example, Twitter were even more intense. During the professor's incendiary speech regarding the refugee crisis in Syria and the world, there was so much tweeting that it was difficult to keep up with the changes. 60 famous Swedes share the Globe's stage. An "artist" was secret. It was Professor Hans Rosling, who received a standing ovation for his power point presentation. When Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingsson introduced the evening's secret guest, Hans Rosling, professor of international health, the audience in the Globe cheered. - I will explain the magnitude of the tragedy in Syria, said Rosling and began to point. - You are 12,000 people in the Globe, imagine that you are the population of Syria, 24 million: each of you is 2,000 Syrians. About half of Syria's population still lives in their homes. If you on that stand can stay in your homes. Hans Rosling pointed to the opposite doctor: - That entire stand corresponds to the eight million who are refugees but still in Syria. Can we have lights on the parquet? - The entire prosecutor's office represents the four million who have left the country and live in border countries and in refugee camps there. Hans Rosling further asked the audience to direct their attention to the front part of the parquet. - You are refugees who have come to Europe. 300,000. That's three percent. And you in the first three rows, you represent the refugees who came to Sweden. Welcome. Standing ovation The audience applauded as Hans Rosling continued the performance with political attack. - It is the courage of these people and the determination they have that has made us finally understand how cruel this war is. But, this is what we usually call the "tip of an iceberg". It is embarrassing that they are exposed to these dangers, because the governments of Europe force you to seek asylum where you are, he said, referring to the Dublin Regulation. - It's embarrassing, sorry. That you pay such high sums to go on these boats instead of traveling by plane, which you are not allowed to go on. Hans Rosling's presentation ended with a standing ovation. The professor then excused himself, explaining that he doesn't know much about music.
