For twenty-five long years, the married couple Edgar (Claes Malmberg) and Alice (Pia Johansson) have lived on an isolated island in the archipelago. He, an artillery captain, and she, a former actress.

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.

The rhythm is knocking. On doors, in the chest, through the floor.

With Knocking, Horácio Macuacua lets rhythm become body: a language of muscles, sweat and breath. It is both gravity and liberation, heaviness and play.
 
The Norrdan ensemble is thrown into this stream, carried by its inexorable power, falling, rising, breathing in unison. Here, rhythm becomes a universal alphabet. It unites us into one body, one room, one now. Rhythm is not just a simple accompaniment, but a language of its own. Rhythm is always there. It is in the music, in the footsteps, in the room, in the breath. Rhythm is a feeling.

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.

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?

The performance opens a tear in time, when Karin was alive. What happened? The audience is guided through the 20th century and a life that was followed for several decades by the silence of shame. Karin's written letters and most famous poems are portrayed with warmth, humor and seriousness.
The performance forms a cry out into our time from what she experienced then, now as relevant as then. Mental fragility in combination with the prevailing homophobia that existed then, makes our time visible. The music is sensitively composed based on knowledge of her life and is played by experienced musicians with the setting of cello, piano, guitar and voice. The performance brings a cultural treasure to life and the target audience is adults.

A performance based on Emerich Roth's autobiography and is about his experiences during World War II and in the extermination camps.
It takes us from childhood in what was then Czechoslovakia, through the turbulent 1930s and to the unimaginable brutality of the extermination camps. It is a story of hope, despair and Emerich's invincible fundamental idea that love always triumphs over hate in the end.

On January 22, 2022, Emerich Roth passed away, aged 97. He was one of several Holocaust survivors who in recent decades have been involved in schools' work on racism and intolerance. Soon none of them will be left alive, but their stories must continue to be told to keep history alive.

His name was Emerich.

The play alternates circus acts with singing and a story that touches deeply on humanity. A touching story about a father who had to give up his child – but who now regrets it. Here in the countryside in the remains of his Circus Tsirk Mechka we meet him, Sali. This time it's not just about circus acts and magic, something more important is at stake - his dignity.
