The Royal Swedish Ballet performs the history of the unknown swedish prince Gustav Badin Couschi
He is enslaved and brought from the West Indies to the Swedish Royal Court in the 1750s as a gift. He is the object of Queen Lovisa Ulrika's social experiment but also of her love. His rival is Sweden's future king, Gustav III, who is also his beloved brother. He also begins a secret relationship with Princess Sofia Albertina. Gustavia is the incredible story of Gustav Badin Couschi. A fast-paced ballet drama, an unknown part of the history of Sweden, a tale about power, norms and rebellion.

Victoria unveiled on October 9, 2023 the memorial stone for Adolf Ludvig Gustav Fredrik Albrecht Couschi (Gustav Badin) at the Katarina Cemetery in Södermalm in Stockholm.
