Here you’ll find all Swedish performances opening in October.

Edinburgh Fringe Festival

Among the over 3,000 events, there are some productions from Sweden. For example Skottes Musikteater will perform The Story of Faust (“Lilla Faust”) August 24-29 and Teateri Beethoven in Stalingrad.
Tampere Theatre Festival
Today, it’s the opening of Tampere Theatre Festival, the oldest and the largest professional theatre festival in the Nordic countries.
From Sweden, Uppsala Stadsteater, has been invided to perform Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya.
In this version, there is no rural estate but a hotel, no tea but Estonian vodka, and the climate change is more destructive than ever before. However, one thing remains the same: human nature. The characters trudge through their delusions and lies as sluggishly and distinctively as a hundred years ago. An ingenious and bold modern adaptation of a classic play!
Uncle Vanya performs August 4 and 5.
Street theatre festival
The International Street Theatre Festival in Halmstad opens today. The festival presents a blend of commedia, wandering performances, guest appearance, philosophical reasoning, two Canadian sisters, juggling, African rhythm and dance, performances from Catalonia, city tours…and much, much more…
During 5 days, the festival presents 52 performances.
