A musical comedy about the most common way of finding a partner in our time: online dating. A delightful, touching and funny story about finding true love.
The story takes place in the early 2000s when online dating has become widespread and singles Frank and Carol discover that romance is just a mouse click away. Via the site eLove.com, they are matched with each other and begin online dating.

At home at their laptops, behind their aliases in the dating site's chat rooms, they dare to open up and share their innermost thoughts with each other. They talk about their ex's shortcomings, talk about relationships and feelings and get closer and closer to each other.

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.

“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

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.

When Dre and Des meet as sixteen-year-olds, anything is possible. The world is wide open and the emotions are bombastic. They share dreams, closeness and their first great love. Many years later, they meet again. They are now thirty-two. Dre has stayed, Des has moved. Everything has changed, and yet the bond between them remains.

In an interplay between then and now, between memory and reality, their shared history unfolds. What happens when the past collides with the present? Does their love belong to the past, or is it still here?

About Swedish soldiers' experiences from the war in Afghanistan
They are among us, but few have heard their stories. In The Veterans we meet the Swedish soldiers who served in the war in Afghanistan.
 
It is about being able to trust each other, about volunteering and working hard. It is about the will to make a difference and about moments you never forget. But also about what we are prepared to do to be part of the group, and how we must live with our decisions – and about dealing with the great challenge afterwards – of becoming a “civilian” among others.

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.

Queer love in the time of resistance

In “Just Another Name for Light,” Donna Donna Teater creates a stage space where Mikael and Ethel’s love unfolds at the intersection of desire, identity, and limiting conditions.

On stage, the story grows through Eddie Mio Larson’s intense portrayal of Mikael, who moves between memory and confession. Time and space merge as Mikael recounts the encounter with Ethel and the love that both lifts and tears apart.

It is a story about queer love in history – but it speaks more broadly than that. Here is the universal experience of love that is not allowed, of relationships that are broken down by social conditions rather than feelings. Class, gender, culture, religion, body – all the obstacles that throughout history and even today make it difficult to take for granted: that two people want to share a life.

We are all part of a greater whole. Part of an interconnected world. What if that world had a language? – The Language of Fungi.
The performance is a sensory and sparkling dance experience in the wondrous world of fungi that wants to awaken joy, community and togetherness. We let movements travel between dancers and audience, like a network of mycelium, and the audience becomes part of the performance from the start.

Language of Fungi wants to inspire further work on questions about nature, the environment and togetherness.

In 1972, the book Svante's Songs – a Song Story was published in Denmark. It contains songs and stories by the author and composer Benny Andersen. Now, more than fifty years after the Danish Svante saw the light of day, and just over thirty years after I myself began to associate with him extensively, it is time for Svante and me to meet the audience again. A little grayer around the temples perhaps, but with the same strong longing for love, self-pity, humor and joy of singing as ever. This time I will be accompanied by the eminent pianist Olof Löfgren.
