About Agnes von Krusenstjerna, Nelly Sachs and Sigrid Hjertén.
All three refused to make themselves victims. Even as inmates of mental hospitals. Creative women. Artists through life and illness.

We meet the writer Agnes von Krusenstjerna, the artist Sigrid Hjertén and the poet Nelly Sachs and are taken on a journey through their artistry, life and illness. How were these women able to take power over their situation, against the world and institutions, and still maintain their creativity?

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 world's oldest unanswered question. How do men think? Do men think!? A 40-year-old friendship aired in a battered caravan. Through humor and seriousness, we get to follow Ulf and Alf to the end of the road.
Böla Camping – so beautiful that you cry – cannot boast of the answer but scratches the surface.

Stranded in a battered caravan, two people of the very genus “men” plow through the soil that is their childhood, youth and so-called adulthood.

A forty-year friendship is aired out.

But something chafes. It cries and wants to come out.

A fast-paced and acrobatic circus adventure for the whole family.
Something is not right at the circus. Director Linn tries to keep her resourceful assistant in check, but it doesn't work that way. How can she appear in two places at the same time? One moment she's hoisted into the air, the next she's standing in the middle of the ring with a new trick, a new costume and a mischievous smile on her face. The audience barely has time to blink before the assistant - whoops! - surprises again.

What's really going on is only revealed on the spot. But one thing is certain: everything is not as it seems...

So bring the whole big family, the group of friends or the neighbours and throw yourselves into this colourful circus adventure where acrobatics, humour and confusions take turns. Here aerial acrobatics, para acrobatics, tightrope walking and clowning come together in an imaginative treat for all ages.

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?

Olof is in the top tier of Swedish birdwatchers. That means he always has to be prepared to drop everything and go. Always. See a performance about being a slave to a hobby that can turn your life upside down. A hobby that you can't stop. But does he even want to?
Olof and Fanny Ramel based their work on Olof's real life when they wrote The Birdwatcher. Everything Olof says in the play is true, but it is often quite absurd. Who leaves their family and heads 700 kilometers north on Christmas Eve to see a bird? Olof has done that. His hobby affects his entire life and thus also the lives of his family. If a new bird species appears for Sweden, all plans are thrown overboard in an instant

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.

A mother who neglects her children, who devours both champagne and younger men - hu! Is there anything creepier? The musical reinterpretation of Strindberg's The Pelican takes aim at the classic chamber play and at the same time winks at our own time. Has a generation ever been so preoccupied with the quality of parenthood, so divided about it or so plagued by a bad conscience?

A powerful and darkly humorous musical theatre by Dag Thelander and Per Wickström , who are behind the critically acclaimed musicals The Magician from Chicago , The History of Madness and The Railway .

What happens when we stop reading? And what happens to us if we stop telling stories? In Profilteatern's new play for high school, we meet two people with high ideals on the edge of a new world that no longer seems to have room for either reading, imagination or creativity.
The two librarians Tobbe and Milla receive shocking news: all books that are not lent out often enough will be burned. Classic masterpieces that once changed lives are now seen as worthless shelf warmers. When they also realize that the library is threatened by cuts, they are faced with a difficult choice - should they quietly accept the loss, or fight back?

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!

“Two flocks meet, when times are hard and barren

The intruder is captured and the warrior becomes a lone wolf

The love that died is brought to life, the ambitious one rises in degree

As the second day approaches, a bloodbath awaits.”

 In  The Pack  , rivalry and longing, love and loss meet. Hungry for more than blood, for reconciliation, for answers. When resources run out, they are forced to confront not only each other, but also their past. What happens when old wounds are brought back to life? When longing becomes stronger than thirst?

The flock

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.

When our lord made Bygdsiljum and all the rest

With humor and sharp satire, performing artists Dag Andersson and Magdi Beky Winnerstam investigate whether it is worth the trouble to compromise your beliefs for the sake of love.
It becomes a thrilling tête-à-tête, where two people in their 40s go on a date with the hope of experiencing the sexy, sweet and wonderful things about love, without a family and the responsibility of children. But what starts as a promising romance quickly develops into an existential roller coaster of ideological discussions and climate anxiety.

“We wanted to create a performance that both entertains and challenges,” says Dag Andersson. “Through humor and recognition, we tackle the difficult questions of how we should live together in a time where even the most personal relationships are affected by global crises.”

Is it worth it?
