She is now creating her first collaboration with Cullberg \u2014 a contemporary dance performance for all senses, featuring fifteen dancers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the performance<\/strong><br>The performers exist in a state of \u201cseparate-togetherness,\u201d navigating a porous boundary between individual agency and collective emergence. The group vibrates into scenes, dissolves into masses, collides in and out of coherence, riding waves of force that rupture stillness into collapse, an ecstatic overcoming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The architecture reveals itself in layers\u2014soft, hard, sunken, protruding\u2014inviting a destabilized reading of depth, time, and gravity. As the body rides and is ridden by force, we ask: how does a body metabolize the uncontainable? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faye Driscoll is an American dancer, choreographer, and director. Her works often include unexpected turns, elements of visual art or theatre, and move from realism into fantasy, while inviting audiences to experience everything from joy and exhilaration to discomfort and anger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faye Driscoll has received the Doris Duke Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Bessie Award, and the Jacob\u2019s Pillow Artist Award, among many other distinctions. Her works have been presented at venues and festivals such as Tanz im August, Kunstenfestivaldesarts, La Biennale di Venezia, Festival d\u2019Automne \u00e0 Paris, Melbourne Festival, Belfast International Arts Festival, and the Onassis Cultural Centre in Athens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of her recent works, Weathering, premiered at New York Live Arts in 2023 and has since toured across the United States, Europe, and Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Choreography:<\/strong> Faye Driscoll<br><strong>Set Design:<\/strong> Jake Margolin, Nick Vaughan<br><strong>Costume Design:<\/strong> Irene Ip<br><strong>Sound Design:<\/strong> Julia Giertz<br><strong>Lighting Design:<\/strong> Mira Svanberg<br><strong>Dramaturg:<\/strong> Dages Juvelier Keates<br><strong>Choreographic Assistant:<\/strong> Amy Gernux<br><strong>Performers:<\/strong> Anand Bolder, Andrea Muelas Blanco, Celina Hage, Eleanor Campbell, Girish Kumar Rachappa, Harrison Elliott, Johanna Willig-Rosenstein, Katie Jacobson, Lilian Steiner, Luca Seixas, Lukas Karvelis, Noam Segal, Panos Paraschou, Thamiris Carvalho, Vincent Van der Plas.<br><strong>Production:<\/strong> Cullberg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cullberg is part of Riksteatern.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">N\u00fax br\u00fax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norrdans<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/A3_nuxbrux_utext_sRGB.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/A3_nuxbrux_utext_sRGB-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/A3_nuxbrux_utext_sRGB-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/A3_nuxbrux_utext_sRGB-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/A3_nuxbrux_utext_sRGB-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/A3_nuxbrux_utext_sRGB-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/A3_nuxbrux_utext_sRGB-1200x798.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/A3_nuxbrux_utext_sRGB-1400x931.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/A3_nuxbrux_utext_sRGB.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">N\u00fax is the ancient Greek word for night, while br\u00fax derives from a root meaning teeth grinding. Together they form N\u00fax br\u00fax \u2013 a poetic description of nocturnal teeth grinding: a body that refuses to rest, a friction that continues through the darkness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Greek choreographer Chara Kotsali\u2019s physical and sonic dance ritual, the night becomes a space of resistance, desire, and longing. Together with Norrdans\u2019 international ensemble, a carnivalesque world unfolds, a charged realm of revolt, togetherness, and metamorphosis, where nocturnal creatures, night owls, hermits, revolutionaries, refuse to sleep. Here, the night marks the beginning of a new day rather than the end of the previous one. N\u00fax br\u00fax pays tribute to nocturnal interspecies alliances and the rebellious economies of the night. Good night!    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What does choreographer Chara Kotsali say about the night as a theme and point of departure?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNight and darkness have historically been burdened with stigma. They have been used to signify ignorance, evil, the unknown that provokes fear, and sadness. Yet it is the world of the day that makes jaws clench and keeps them shut throughout the night.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Europe re-arms, the night is filled with fear and uncertainty; the skies are lit by missiles, and hope is trapped in the blinding light of day. The \u2018enlightened\u2019 West builds its myth on an aseptic whiteness, and night is instrumentalized as evil, the impure other half of the earth that threatens the light. In Hesiod\u2019s Theogony, first there was Chaos, and Chaos gave birth to Darkness and Black Night. And these two mated and gave birth toDay.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dance Artists:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Viktoria Andersson @doraviktoriaa Gorik Bellemans @gorikbellemans Ruben Brown @ruben.brown_ Alvilda Faber Striim @alvildastriim Kaelin Isserlin @kaelinbaby Kevin Julianto @kevinnjulianto Sierra Kellman @sierra_kellman Sofia Larriera @sofialarriera<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Choreography: <\/strong>Chara Kotsali @charakotsali<br><strong>Sound Design &amp; Music: <\/strong>Jeph Vanger in close collaboration with the choreographer @jephvanger<br><strong>Costume &amp; Set Design: <\/strong>Periklis Pravitas @pravitasperiklis<br><strong>Lighting Design: <\/strong>Eliza Alexandropoulou @eliza_alexandropoulou <br><strong>Dramaturgical Consultant: <\/strong>Dimitra Mitropoulou <br><strong>Dramaturgy Intern: <\/strong>Edwin Cedergren<br><strong>Rehearsal Director: <\/strong>Matilda Bilberg @matildabilberg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GOODTHEATRE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">moment:teater<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GOODTHEATRE-Foto_-Ludde-Hagberg-scaled.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GOODTHEATRE-Foto_-Ludde-Hagberg-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GOODTHEATRE-Foto_-Ludde-Hagberg-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GOODTHEATRE-Foto_-Ludde-Hagberg-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GOODTHEATRE-Foto_-Ludde-Hagberg-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GOODTHEATRE-Foto_-Ludde-Hagberg-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GOODTHEATRE-Foto_-Ludde-Hagberg-2048x1365.png 2048w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GOODTHEATRE-Foto_-Ludde-Hagberg-1200x800.png 1200w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GOODTHEATRE-Foto_-Ludde-Hagberg-1400x933.png 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>GOODTHEATRE<\/em> is a genre-fluid choreographic work by Ludde Hagberg with Tilman O\u2019Donnell, Anna Vnuk and Rudi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The performance takes place in 2026, seen from the perspective of an imagined reality several decades later. From that vantage point, the present appears as a turning point: a time when humans were beginning to share agency with systems, technologies and other forms of intelligence.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>GOODTHEATRE<\/em> approaches this shift through one of the oldest relationships: the relationship between human and dog. Intimate, collaborative and affectionate, it is also shaped by an obvious asymmetry of power. Who gives the command, who learns, and who adapts?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From this familiar relationship, the work opens onto broader questions of autonomy, intelligence and control, and of what happens when agency begins to move between different actors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Playful and philosophical, <em>GOODTHEATRE<\/em> uses choreography to look at 2026 as if it were already history. Rather than imagining a distant future, it turns its attention towards the present and asks what kinds of change may already be taking place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CREDITS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Choreographer and director: <\/strong>Ludvig Bildstein<br><strong>On stage:<\/strong> Anna Vnuk, Tilman O\u2019Donnell, Ludde Hagberg, Rudi<br><strong>IT-Dramaturg:<\/strong> Daniel Andersson<br><strong>Light design and tech:<\/strong> Thomas Zamolo<br><strong>Production:<\/strong> Heta Asikainen, Karin Rob\u00e9rts<br><strong>Producent<\/strong> (kompani\/teater\/institution etc): moment:teater<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In collaboration with The Royal Swedish Ballet School<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With support from the City of Stockholm, the Swedish Arts Council, and Region Stockholm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kostya \u2013 the ballad of pigs and seagulls <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kontr\u00e4r<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image41535_af9664-c8 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image41535_af9664-c8 size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image.png\" class=\"kb-advanced-image-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-41513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image.png 1062w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Nothing you make will outlive the week.

Caretaking is a concept often linked to female gendered professions&#8221; or considered being a feminine trait. The duo wants to explore shared bodily practices based on the idea of caretaking, specifically exploring what patriarchal nurturing entails or could become. Papa seeks to create a soft space through an ongoing playful conversation that spills into the audience space, creating room for reflection and resonance. Through Papa, the duo wants to experiment with how identity is shaped in relation to role models and how we might redefine ideas of power and love in today\u2019s society.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Credits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dance and Choreography:<\/strong> Halla \u00d3lafsd\u00f3ttir &amp; Sindri Runudde<br><strong>Music:<\/strong> Planningtorock<br><strong>Lighting Design:<\/strong> Jonatan Winbo<br><strong>Scenography and Costume: <\/strong>Tove Dreiman<br><strong>Photography:<\/strong> Chrisander Brun, Thomas Zamolo and Tove Dreiman<br><strong>Assistance and Rehearsal Director:<\/strong> Eli Eli<br><strong>Outside Eye:<\/strong> Stina Nyberg<br><strong>Internship and Outside Eye:<\/strong> Mar\u00eda Krist\u00edn J\u00f3hannsd\u00f3ttir<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Collaboration With Nordberg Movement<br>Administration: Interim Kultur<br>Co-production: MDT \u2013 Moderna Dansteatern, Norrlandsoperan and DansIt.<br>Support: The Swedish Arts Council, Stockholm Region and Stockholm Stad<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Documentation by Thomas Zamolo at Moderna Dansteatern, Stockholm March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Casino<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Johnson &amp; Bergsmark\/Ofelia Jarl Ortega<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Skarmavbild-2026-08-27-kl.-11.41.03.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"709\" src=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Skarmavbild-2026-08-27-kl.-11.41.03-1024x709.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Skarmavbild-2026-08-27-kl.-11.41.03-1024x709.png 1024w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Skarmavbild-2026-08-27-kl.-11.41.03-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Skarmavbild-2026-08-27-kl.-11.41.03-768x532.png 768w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Skarmavbild-2026-08-27-kl.-11.41.03-1536x1063.png 1536w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Skarmavbild-2026-08-27-kl.-11.41.03-2048x1418.png 2048w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Skarmavbild-2026-08-27-kl.-11.41.03-1200x831.png 1200w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Skarmavbild-2026-08-27-kl.-11.41.03-1400x969.png 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three performers of the Latin American diaspora, Jao Moon, Nina Sandino and Ofelia Jarl Ortega, move through a fictional dance floor, where rhythm emerges through their steps.

Instead, it was very big in Cuba, Colombia and the Caribbean. There, every dinner ends with salsa dancing, and every birthday celebration is a dance. In Chile, the social dance has been cumbia, or the folk dance cueca. Nevertheless, salsa gatherings among Chilenos became huge in Sweden. The phenomenon grew in Sweden due to the big number of Chilenos living in the country post Pinochet\u2019s dictatorship in the 70s-90s. For the exiled Chilenos, salsa became a way to connect to the Latin American background. It became a subculture within the diaspora. And to be Latino you needed to know how to dance salsa, a clich\u00e9 that still haunts us in this piece.        <br><br><strong>Choreographer&#8217;s statement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>When I first traveled to Chile as a grown up I met the blossoming reggaeton scene, and the feminist subgenre neo-perreo. For some years reggaeton was my connection to Latin America and my own heritage, until I stumbled upon salsa. The salsa music has always been part of what\u2019s been played at home, but the dance had been hidden for me. Now salsa is all on my mind. And my newfound way of connecting to a Latin American diaspora, to be Chilean in Sweden, and to be a second generation immigrant.\u201c    <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8211; Ofelia Jarl Ortega<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CREDITS <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Choreography:<\/strong> Ofelia Jarl Ortega, in close collaboration with the performers.<br><strong>Performers:<\/strong> Jao Moon, Nina Sandino\/caterina daniela mora jara, Ofelia Jarl Ortega<br><strong>Lighting Design:<\/strong> Johan Sund\u00e9n<br><strong>Dramaturgy:<\/strong> Andrea Rodrigo, Quim Bigas<br><strong>Costume:<\/strong> Erik Annerborn<br><strong>Photo:<\/strong> Milja Rossi<br><strong>Trailer:<\/strong> Karl-Oskar Gustafsson<br><strong>Production: <\/strong>Terry Johnson, (Johnson &amp; Bergsmark)<br><strong>Co-production:<\/strong> Dansehallerne, MDT, BIT Teatergarasjen<br><strong>Residency support:<\/strong> h\u00f6jden studios, Stockholm and Dansplats Skog, Str\u00e5tj\u00e4ra<br><strong>With support from: <\/strong>The Swedish Art Grants Committee, The Swedish Arts Council and Stockholms Stad<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">POINT OF YOU<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BLOW YOUR MIND<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image41535_df8045-ed .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image41535_df8045-ed size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"873\" src=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_9240-1024x873.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-41386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_9240-1024x873.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_9240-300x256.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_9240-768x655.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_9240-1536x1309.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_9240-2048x1746.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_9240-1200x1023.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_9240-1400x1193.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Point of You is a participatory performance that uses the transformative power of theatre to create a safe space for reflection and dialogue about freedom, belonging, and social change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants are invited to share experiences, listen actively, and collectively imagine the kind of society we want to live in\u2014a space where different perspectives are welcomed and valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the performance, participants are guided through a series of interactive exercises that evoke memories, spark reflection, and inspire shared visions for the future.

And was diagnosed with breast cancer. The performance takes that period as its starting point: a body undergoing change, fear, the loss of control, and cells running wild.

Ingeborg hears the echoes of former critics, her stomach is torturing her, the tax authorities are after her, and there is a persistent buzzing in the room drives her crazy.

It folds practices around seeming binaries such as hard and soft, flaccid and erect, hairy and bald, into contradictory landscapes, switching between atmosphere and personhood in trying out ways of being nature to each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an attempt to imagine a different world, Chest searches for a common ground from which new figures can emerge. Creating hybrids that are not cars, but living beings simultaneously moving and being moved, embodying the myriad properties of protagonists, landscape, and atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Chest, Stina Nyberg continues to explore musical horizons, this time collaborating with composer Kaki King, based in New York. King is considered one of the world\u2019s greatest living guitarists, known both for her technical mastery and for her constant quest to push the boundaries of the instrument. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chest is developed in deep collaboration with dancers Robert Malmborg, Pontus Pettersson and Stephen Thompson as well as the rest of the artistic team Andros Zins-Browne, Kaki King, Jenny Nordberg, Senay Berhe and Thabiso Kubheka Persson in a joint endeavour to stay with the trouble and the joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stina Nyberg is a dancer and choreographer living in Stockholm. Her work is based on the political and social history of the body from a feminist perspective. She is interested in undervalued knowledge, magical practices and the language of power. <em>Chest<\/em> (Dansens Hus 2024) is the third instalment of Nyberg&#8217;s investigation into the assholeness of humanity, previously developed in <em>The Dawn Chorus<\/em> (Norrdans 2022) and <em>Sweet<\/em> (MDT 2022).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Credits: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Choreography:<\/strong> Stina Nyberg<br><strong>Dance:<\/strong> Robert Malmborg, Stina Nyberg, Pontus Pettersson, Stephen Thompson<br><strong>Music:<\/strong> Kaki King<br><strong>Dramaturg:<\/strong> Andros Zins-Browne<br><strong>Costume, set and mask design:<\/strong> Jenny Nordberg<br><strong>Light design:<\/strong> Thabiso Kubheka Persson<br><strong>Film:<\/strong> Senay Berhe<br><strong>Production:<\/strong> Terry Johnson (Johnson &amp; Bergsmark), Magnus Nordberg (Nordberg Movement)<br><strong>Residency and co-production:<\/strong> Dansens Hus, The Chocolate Factory Theater and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (NYC) <br><strong>Supported by:<\/strong> The Swedish Arts Council, Stockholm stad, Region Stockholm, The Swedish Arts Grants Committee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Night Walkers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teater Brunnsgatan Fyra<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FE_nattorienterarna-184-scaled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FE_nattorienterarna-184-scaled-1-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FE_nattorienterarna-184-scaled-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FE_nattorienterarna-184-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FE_nattorienterarna-184-scaled-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FE_nattorienterarna-184-scaled-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FE_nattorienterarna-184-scaled-1-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FE_nattorienterarna-184-scaled-1-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FE_nattorienterarna-184-scaled-1-1400x935.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Swedish poet and playwright Kristina Lugn had a unique literary style which blended the mundane with the profound, romantic longings with pitch black existentialism and sprinkled throughout with a huge dose of humour. \u201cNattorienterarna\u201d is one of her most beloved plays and could perhaps be described as a Swedish cousin to Becket&#8217;s &#8220;Waiting for Godot&#8221;. This is the first time the play is staged in Teater Brunnsgatan 4 since 1998 when it premiered there with Lena Endre and Pernilla August in two roles of Vera and Bricken (a performance which included live fire effects on stage which allegedly scared the life out of Ingmar Bergman). A new generation of all female cast and creatives have now made their own version of this modern Swedish classic which and received rave reviews for their sold out run earlier this year.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vera and Bricken are both teachers at the same school and one of them has had an affair with the other ones husband. We meet them in the darkest hours of the night in a suburb somewhere in Stockholm. They were not expecting to meet anyone else there, let alone each other. They are each on a mission to try and navigate trough the darkness armed with a flashlight and a map. But the night they find themselves in is perhaps better described as a state of mind than an actual place. A state of mind one might need more than a map to navigate, perhaps in these dark times we are currently in we even to put on our armour in order to find the courage to keep moving forward. This is a play about allowing yourself to get lost in language through poetry and the make believe of the theatre. It\u2019s not so much a story about trying to free oneself by escaping from reality, but rather about giving reality itself wings and setting it free.        <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Credits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By:<\/strong> Kristina Lugn<br><strong>Director: <\/strong>Melody Parker<br><strong>Performers: <\/strong>Jenny M Jensen, Janna Granstr\u00f6m<br><strong>Set &amp; costume design:<\/strong> Agnes \u00d6stergren<br><strong>Light design:<\/strong> SUTODA<br><strong>Sound design:<\/strong> Elias Shapiro*<br><strong>Technician:<\/strong> Kristian Cavdarovski<br><strong>Pressfoto &amp; Poster :<\/strong> Fredrika Eriksson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Performances Within Schedule<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAKE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Royal Dramatic Theatre<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/e2e2f137-6de3-453b-8e47-51e5c0dbb9bc-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/e2e2f137-6de3-453b-8e47-51e5c0dbb9bc-1024x583.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/e2e2f137-6de3-453b-8e47-51e5c0dbb9bc-1024x583.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/e2e2f137-6de3-453b-8e47-51e5c0dbb9bc-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/e2e2f137-6de3-453b-8e47-51e5c0dbb9bc-768x437.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/e2e2f137-6de3-453b-8e47-51e5c0dbb9bc-1536x874.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/e2e2f137-6de3-453b-8e47-51e5c0dbb9bc-2048x1165.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/e2e2f137-6de3-453b-8e47-51e5c0dbb9bc-1200x683.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/e2e2f137-6de3-453b-8e47-51e5c0dbb9bc-1400x796.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Fake by and directed by Yael Ronen.

Born in Jerusalem and active in Germany, Ronen had her breakthrough with the play Third Generation and is known for bold, contemporary, and humorous productions about current conflicts.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Mustafa Al-Mashhadani, Bj\u00f6rn Elgerd, Electra Hallman, Bianca Kronl\u00f6f, Lindy Larsson, Ia Langhammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Artistic Team<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Written and directed by:<\/strong> Yael Ronen<br><strong>Set Design:<\/strong> Wolfgang Menardi<br><strong>Video:<\/strong> Stefano di Buduo<br><strong>Music:<\/strong> Yaniv Fridel, Ofer Shabi<br><strong>Costume Design:<\/strong> Amit Epstein<br><strong>Lighting Design:<\/strong> Patrik Angestav<br><strong>Wig and Make-up:<\/strong> Mimmi Lindell<br><strong>Dramaturg:<\/strong> Irina Szodruch, Anneli Dufva<br><strong>Translation:<\/strong> Lotta Olsson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parzival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Royal Dramatic Theatre<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/742a1612-336d-4d72-b24e-537e834fd4e0-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/742a1612-336d-4d72-b24e-537e834fd4e0-1024x583.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/742a1612-336d-4d72-b24e-537e834fd4e0-1024x583.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/742a1612-336d-4d72-b24e-537e834fd4e0-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/742a1612-336d-4d72-b24e-537e834fd4e0-768x437.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/742a1612-336d-4d72-b24e-537e834fd4e0-1536x874.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/742a1612-336d-4d72-b24e-537e834fd4e0-2048x1165.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/742a1612-336d-4d72-b24e-537e834fd4e0-1200x683.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/scensverige.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/742a1612-336d-4d72-b24e-537e834fd4e0-1400x796.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Parzival by Lukas B\u00e4rfuss, after Wolfram von Eschenbach.
