Ture Teater

Kiddo does her best to maximize coziness. She has found the key to a soft and warm place that makes her shiver with delight every time she opens her eyes. A harmless and frictionless existence, suffused with the scent of flowers and exquisite tedium.

Kiddo

A free interpretation of Jane Austen's timeless work

Pride and Prejudice

A blend of high and low, fine and ugly, sublime and vulgar, dirty and orderly, political and apolitical, stupid and wise, angry and cheerful. In short, a hope, a relief from the sickness that is our time.

Political Dirty Kids and Their Animals

A winding, playful and humorous classroom performance about truths, half-truths and lies – and about how difficult it is to know which is which.

Who in the Whole Wide World Can You Trust?

A dramatic weave in which anachronisms lay bare our era's fixation with the feminine as a screen for projection and a scapegoat. Helen of Troy and Norma Jeane of Los Angeles meet: two iconic figures, separated by millennia yet bound together in myth, beauty and guilt.

Norma Jeane Baker of Troy

A performance for children aged 5 to 8 and their grown-ups, about courage, promises, and the big question: what is a knight's true purpose? Freely inspired by the medieval English legend Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

The Green Knight

Political Smut Kids – In the Gut of the Third Spirit

Students from Stockholm University of the Arts presents three performances investigating the theme TOO LATE through three different works.

Too Late

A low-intensity performance about sixty-three-year-old Anette who is inspired by an Italian film and decides to change her life and fulfill herself. Malmö dockteater presents a realistic puppet theater aesthetic with both humorous and painful situations.

Anette

Anette goes to the cinema and watches the Italian film Il Gondoliere, the story of Giuseppe from Venice, who comes out as gay at seventy. The film hits her deeply, becoming a turning point in her own life. Could it really be too late to chase your dreams just because retirement is around the corner? Inspired and determined, Anette decides to transform her life and finally embrace her true self.

To Make This Up

A monologue based on Giuseppe Patroni Griffi's 1975 novel. The story of Rosalinda Sprint, a femminello who walks down Via Toledo in Naples—a symbol of the struggle to be oneself and the right to love.

Scende giù per Toledo

A concert in two acts with shadow play and strings. Ideas of the spirit world's presence in everyday life: spiritualism and the aestheticisation of a society in decline. Music for subjectivity and sensuality.

A movement of eight activist pole dancers who 'poles 4 change.' The performance unfolds at NNP's annual recruitment meeting, where the group's self-appointed documentary film Radical Embrace is shown. In an intimate, mildly interactive setup – blending live action with film screening – the audience follows NNP's highs and lows as they investigate power structures, challenge Extinction Rebellion, and travel to Svalbard. About hopelessness, fighting spirit, and the search for the (im)possible collective meaning.

A performance that depicts a life at the breaking point, but never loses sight of the possibility of change. A dream and reality in which people disappear and survivors search for one another.

Asylum at the End of the World

A matriarchal shout-out to the Norwegian national epic Peer Gynt, moving the action 152 years forward in time, swapping the genders of the main characters, and exploring who gets to behave like a shitheel.
