Lots and lots of murders in the night

A crime has been committed. Detective Beck and Gunvald Larsson are called in to lead the investigation. They throw themselves down a labyrinthian rabbit hole to try to get to the bottom of the case. Many more murders take place. The neighbour-next-door pops up in the most unexpected of places. Suddenly everything has to be dubbed into German. Roles are switched, duplicated and the line blurs between fiction and reality.  Beck ends up in peculiar ZOOM meetings and in the basement sits Sjöwall Wahlöö brooding.
Beck is faced with his most difficult case yet. Who am I? A real detective, a fictive role or an actor?

When the Moomsteater actors were asked to give suggestions of plays they wanted to put on someone yelled “Beck!” and someone else chipped in quickly with “I want to play Persbrandt!”. And that is where the idea was born. Not to put on a regular detective story or even use a film script from the Beck TV series. But to create a play about the Swedish fascination with detective stories. The phenomenon, genre and archetypes that have eaten their way into the world definitions and consciousness of consumers. And the blurry distinction between an actor and the role they play. 

Moomsteatern creates theatre using neurodivergent actors. We aim for our audience to undergo a unique theatre experience. We wish to challenge peoples’ mindset and stimulate societal dialogue. We wish to challenge the theatre industry’s mindset when it comes to representation and who is allowed to take space on stage.
We work with actors both with and without disabilities, on equal terms. The inclusive ensemble, actors with and actors without disabilities, are a cornerstone for the work carried out by Moomsteatern. We offer actors who have an intellectual or learning disability the possibility to focus on and develop within their career. We are still the only theatre in Sweden who offer fulltime employment covered by a collective agreement to actors with intellectual disabilities.

The return of the Light! & When is Easter here?” – song café with Simply Opera

Singers from Simply Opera will sing in the Spring and eagerly await the arrival of Easter. There will be folksongs, arias, duets – and maybe even some guest artists!
Spring, when the days grow longer and brighter, and nature comes to life with colour! You might meet new people, celebrate Easter, and perhaps a romance will blossom during spring and summer. Everything becomes brighter, with more colours blooming in the heart, mind, and nature—and hopefully it gets warmer too!

Simply Opera is an amateur opera association aiming to perform fun and accessible opera that appeals to everyone—even those unfamiliar with the genre!
In 1988, opera singer Christian Fürst Myrup founded the Opera Semplice association in Malmö. It was an opportunity for anyone to try singing opera, welcoming both enthusiastic amateurs and serious students of music to perform in their productions. After Christian’s passing in 1998, the members decided to reorganize the association and continue its mission in his spirit, under a new name: Simply Opera.
Under the name Simply Opera, we have staged a number of productions with the goal of presenting enjoyable and straightforward opera that appeals to a wide audience.
Our recent performances include Mozart-Salieri: So, Does Miss Want to Join the Theatrer?,; Schubert: The Conspirators, Gilbert and Sullivan: The Mikado, Okonkovski-Gilbert: Chaste Susanna, Mozart: Così fan tutte, and several Opera Cafés.
