Welcome to Bastionen for a break. Come and go as you will to our tea salon, we will be offering live play readings and cosiness in abundance! Put your feet up, sit in our comfy sofas or sink down onto our mega-cushions; listen to exciting readings, be lulled into tranquillity in our pretty foyer. Have a cup of tea, do a jigsaw or just take a break between all the rushing around watching Scenfest performances.

Welcome to a lecture with director Martha Vestin about the art of theatre directing, a lecture focused on site-specific promenade theatre.
Martha Vestin is a critically acclaimed director with over 30 years’ experience and professor of directing at Dramatiska Institutet, Stockholm. She has taught in Sweden and overseas, in Russia, Tanzania, Cameroon and Bangladesh. She has previously worked for Riksteatern and as Artistic Director of Alla Tiders Teater (previously known as Sommarteater på Krapperup)

KICK OFF
Kick off for Malmö Scenfest!
Let’s raise a glass to Malmö Scenfest and gear up for a full day of theatre!
There will be a breakfast mingle and mimosas. There is space for 30-40 people and just as it is for the rest of the day – it is first come first served. There might even be a sneak peek of the rest of the day’s programme.

“ARYO” is a dance and music production in collaboration with the musicians Joel Fuguet and Marina Galán and Alex Paton.

“ARYO” narrates the different stages of love that somebody can experience through life. It takes us through a deep and detailed scene of every sensational stage in each moment, in distance; passing through gravity, strength and speed.

The gravity that can be experienced whilst alone (that gap) and how different it is when another person is there, that strength and passion.

How the speed also varies in relation to that distance. As well as how quickly time passes whilst in love with someone and how slow time passes with that person’s touch.

“The closer it is the more force returned, as it gets further the strength collapses and falls”.

Being empty or full is dictated by the presence of another. The closer the stronger the further the weaker. Our distance in return is manipulated by gravity.

Participating performers: Anna Borràs Picó (dancer and choreographer) and Alexander Paton (musician and sound composer).

‘The Swedish Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments’ (LSS) states: The goal must be that every individual be granted the opportunity to live on the same terms as others.
But what is reality actually like for this target group? Our performance tackles that feeling of being isolated from the rest of society, a feeling of not having the power to choose or decide over one’s own life. What happens to a person who feels excluded in this way and what happens when this person makes their voice heard? We at Kulturhuset Teamus explore these issues in our performance, which is in turn based on events and experience from the actors’ own lives. During the performance we invite the audience into an alternative world where people become animals and animals become people. We pose the question – how are people with a functional impairment really treated in reality?

EVERYONE IS NAMED KNUT (and the worthless art of forgetting how to die curious) A comedy performance about death by Amelie Nörgaard and Nic Schröder. Yes, you read that right. We intend to joke about death. In the spring of 2024, a completely new performance will see the light of day. Amelie Nörgaard and Nic Schröder create a show with comedy and charm that brings together Moomsteatern’s actors, guest actors Stefan Clarin and Sara Vainio, plenty of music by Jan-Erik Sääf, delicious costumes, set design and lighting, and a voiceover with Siw Malmkvist as Mother Earth.

Our story literally begins with a birth. A child comes into the world with all its ignorance about what life is all about and what death really is. But here, you have to learn quickly – put on your bike helmet and be prepared for your emotions to tie themselves in knots one or two times. Welcome to the working life where your colleagues (all named Knut) and your boss (also named Knut) can show you what really matters. Namely, figuring out why you work, what you dream of – a Ferrari or a hot tub, perhaps? And most importantly: Remember never to talk about death! 

EVERYONE IS NAMED KNUT (and the worthless art of forgetting how to die curious) is a high-speed comedy show that is well-suited for those who feel that they might need to laugh a bit at the seriousness of life. In an organic jumble of scenes, it twists, turns, and questions our society’s collective perceptions and taboos surrounding what we have encapsulated in the concept of “dying.” At the same time, it aims to inspire approaching one’s own fears with humor, imagination, and courage to access more of oneself. More life, simply put.

Ensemble: Tryggve Algeus, Dennis Mortensson, Niclas Lendemar, Frida Andersson, Johanna Friberg, Julia Hansson, Caroline Andersson, Stefan Clarin & Sara Vainio Ali

OPEN REHEARSAL OF THE PARTY BY VICTOR FRÖJD

A tribute to mankind and the sensuous 

When Viktor Fröjd invites an audience to The Party, that audience is welcome to participate in its own way, whether it’s snuggled on a sofa, sneaking stealthily around the room, or dancing right at the centre of the party. 

 Located in the middle of the work, together with stage installations and three house dancers, you will be part of The Party – a house club disguised as a performance. With music by DJ Cheza and master of ceremonies Yared, this is a party you won’t soon forget. 

 The Party is a homage to the street dance community – a culture that seeks to acknowledge everyone’s differences and celebrates dance as a means of expression. Inspired by the music, jam and dance of house clubs, Fröjd creates a work full of community and desire.

Join us for a tour of Palladium! We tell the story of the building’s exciting history from 1920 onwards, when glass- and-porcelain company director Löfberg threw open the doors to his brand-new Cinema and Concert Hall. It was right here on this stage that Swedish singing sensation Carola for one, shot to fame singing “Främling” at Melodifestivalen 1983, and also where greats Jussi Björling, Alice Babs sang and even Laurel & Hardy once performed. Much of the interior remains intact, such as the impressive crystal chandeliers and ceiling paintings.

Palladium was newly inaugurated in 2004 as a house for music and dance and is now run by Musik i Syd in close collaboration with Dansstationen.
