Charlie’s Kid Pantomimteatern
Chaplin’s silent film classic The Kid from 1921 comes to life on stage in a heart-warming slapstick about one of cinema’s most famous families. A tale of the rich and the poor, and the relationship between Charlie and an orphan kid unfolds in a world where not everything is black or white.

Uncle Vanya Uppsala City Theatre
An ingenious and bold modern adaptation of a classic play!
In this version of Uncle Vanya, 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.
August 4-5, Tampere, Finland

Marmalade Claire Parsons Co.
Aimed at young children 2-6 years old, Marmalade is a delicious, sensory performance about meeting, mixing and blending. Mira and Viktor taste and feel in poetic movements and circus actions in an exquisite and visual experience where the audience is invited to join. Marmalade looks at the world through body, eye, feeling and taste in a room with fluffy skirts, soft circus and Fellini music.
August 15-17, New York, USA
August 22, Washington, USA
