Welcome to Malmö City Theatre’s new stage at Frölichs väg 4 in Rosengård.
We invite you to a full day of performances, an open rehearsal, readings, a concert, a puppet theatre workshop, and coffee.

Bring the family and enjoy our theatre performance The Egg—a dramatization of Lennart Hellsing’s beloved classic. The Egg is a philosophical story about life and all our dreams of becoming something truly special. Performances at 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. Recommended for ages 6 and up. Don’t miss our puppet theatre workshop where you can make a puppet and put on your own puppet show!

For older audiences, program events begin at 3:00 pm. We invite you to an open rehearsal of Picnic on the Battlefield with Malmö City Theatre’s newly launched youth ensemble. Enjoy a preview of this absurdist play set in the middle of a war, where a soldier’s mother and father arrive with a picnic basket. The open rehearsal is followed by a short talk with the ensemble.

After that, some of our actors will read texts from Here Was Our House – Children’s Stories from Gaza, the short story collection published in spring 2025 that received great attention throughout the Swedish theatre scene.

The day concludes with a concert by the band Cassette Project, who toured to Malmö City Theatre Rosengård last autumn. They take us on a musical journey through the Arabic pop scene with a sound that is both nostalgic and entirely new.

Who are we?
Malmö City Theatre has a permanent ensemble of actors and produces theatre in Swedish primarily on four stages: Hippodromen, Intiman, Studion, and Rosengård. We also do audience-focused immersive work/performance at Ateljén on Kalendegatan 12, Malmö.

Our new stage at Frölichs väg 4 in Rosengård is located in the former premises of Drömmarnas Hus. Here, we primarily perform children’s and youth theatre for school classes during the day and for families on weekends and evenings. We also offer courses for children and young people in the afternoons and during school holidays.
