Loved, hated, praised and mocked. Sara from Karlstad became Zarah Leander to the whole world.
Loved, hated, praised and mocked. Sara from Karlstad became Zarah Leander with the whole world. She was the highest paid film actress of her time and an internationally celebrated singer. Worshipped. Not least in Germany, during the dark reign of the Nazis. Something for which she was also questioned at home in Sweden.

The marriage between Hildegard and Jörgen has probably been strained even before the strip club came to the village. But now! No one is left untouched by this incredible addition to the entertainment scene, who is for it and who is against it? As if that weren't enough, Näcken herself is roaming the edge of the forest.

The frustrated Hildegard, played by Anna Blomberg, has her life turned upside down. When she and the dancer Jessica chase the mysterious Näcken, not only does an unexpected friendship arise. She also realizes that the secret she has been carrying will soon be exposed.

In the middle of a small town, everyday life, dreams and longing meet. In Hildegard and Jörgen's combined living room and foot care salon, life goes on in all its quiet confusion, while the new entertainment establishment lures with glamour and promises of something more. And out in the forest, Näcken keeps vigil between nightmare and daydream, between allure and danger.

“I have no words, actually!” – that’s what the chairman of the municipal board once said when the news came. The news was one of many that followed the rounds surrounding Boxholmsost.
This is a story about a society that refused to give up. A fight for more than a dairy product – about identity, pride and faith in the future. Playwright Ivar Waldemarsson, known for the success Jag for ner till bror , gives voice to the story of Boxholm and the cheese. How does a place feel when its identity is taken away? What makes people fight? What does defeat taste like? Four actors from the Östgötateatern with musicians go on tour in Östergötland to meet the audience on home turf

Married couple Rut and Ragnar are so happy! After decades together, they are finally getting divorced – promising to stay away from each other and leave each other alone forever.
But the plans for a solemn and beautiful ring-removal ceremony quickly go awry. Who will be the worst man ? Who gets the plain-knit sweater? How do you divide the cuckoo clock fairly? And… wouldn't it be wonderful to have one last divorce journey, a month of betrayal, together?

Rut & Ragnar , by Kristina Lugn, was originally written for our theatre director Gunilla Röör and Allan Edwall. Life got in the way and the play never reached its premiere. But now it's time! Spring 2026 will be Gunilla's last as theatre director, and there is no better farewell than touring the county with the play she finally gets to perform!

Finally, the National Theatre is going to make the classic Nils Holgersson's wonderful journey through Sweden ! Not only that - they have managed to cast the main role with Nils Holgersson himself, who has now turned 120! But when Nils is to make his entrance, he suddenly does not appear - he has disappeared without a trace. But the show must go on, the audience has arrived. In his absence, the ensemble begins to stage what they remember of the story and the choreographies and forgotten numbers that were deleted long ago. It turns out that the props in the set have been replaced, that the audience is not just an audience and that the doors to the backstage are open. People from the local area come in.

Shakespeare's merchant at a new address, where deafness is the norm.
In this free interpretation of The Merchant of Venice , Riksteatern Crea places the action on the island of Martha's Vineyard in the USA, a hundred years in the future. By this time, the digital world has collapsed and an alternative society has emerged on the island. A group of deaf idealists have settled there and built a community based on solidarity and self-sufficiency. But it is not long before power games and greed challenge the idyll.
The merchant Antonio lends money to his careless friend Bassanio to help him charm the delightful Portia. But the money actually comes from the hearing loan shark Sjölund. When Antonio cannot pay back on time, a dramatic trial begins, where lives and justice are at stake.

Barbro Hörberg saw beauty in the scent of a torn handkerchief and the bare branches of November trees. Her literary lyrics made the gray everyday life shimmer, even when she wrote about torn bed sheets in desolate marriages. Actress Catherine Jeppsson tells the story of the heartfelt, sensual and eternal Barbro Hörberg in speech and song. With her tender lyrics and her soft voice, Barbro touched Swedish hearts for many years. Her legacy lives on through songs such as Ögon eskennista för grönt, Gamla älkäse barn and Sommarön. Participating: Catherine Jeppsson and musician Rune Lindqvist

Something happened during the school trip. No one knows how?

Something happened during the school trip. No one knows how, but newcomer Sam has been replaced by something inhuman: a perfect replica of himself. At least that's what people say. Rumors spread quickly and the rest of the class decide to expose the intruder and get the truth out, no matter what the cost. But once a rumor starts spreading, it can be hard to tell what – or who – is real?

More polka, more joy, more Hangasjärvi!

The audience asked for another performance – so now you get it! The explosive folk music show with the accordion virtuoso from Kivijärvi and the pop wonder from Pajala is back.

When Fredrik Hangasjärvi and Sanna Kalla , together with their phenomenal band, took the stage last year, the room was filled with rhythms, stories and pure musical joy. The audience's reactions became part of the performance – the tjoing, the clapping and all that happens when something hits deep.

"You got right into the innermost part of the Tornedal soul. You get everything: both melancholy and joy of life," says Umeå Teaterförening's own Tarja.

The creation story set in the reality of Västerbotten
- I believe in evolution. In my worldview, the world did not come into being as it is written in Genesis.

I consider the creation story to be a beautiful, powerful and poetic story – as long as you are allowed to do as you please in terms of believing in it. And thank goodness we have freedom of religion in our country. So you can believe in evolution and be open to spirituality at the same time. It is not everywhere in the world that you are allowed to believe what you want.

I see the Judeo/Christian creation story as a fairy tale about how everything began. And that is not surprising. Such stories have arisen in most human cultures. It is enough to look up at a starry sky on a clear winter night and it raises big questions. And the answers to those questions have really varied depending on time and place.
According to the creation story, man is a construction of Our Lord, a kind of invention.

But it was probably like putting a check on the gardener that man was assigned the task of managing creation.

When our lord made Bygdsiljum and all the rest
