Open rehearsal – A Stairway to Heaven
Malmö Dockteater opens up to the public a rehearsal of En trappa till himlen. Hopefully we are ready for a first public showing, if not you will see an excerpt from the performance and hear the team talk about the work. (PREMIERE 3rd April 2025)
Malmö Dockteater is ten years old. We are celebrating with an anniversary performance created by, with and inside the head of the theatre’s founder Erik Holmström. Alone on stage, he promises to make this feel like a cross between a Broadway musical and a dream on the verge of slipping away. The action takes place in a crooked little room in space and bang in the middle of a staging of Strindberg’s A Dream Play. It all happens while waiting on hold to get through to DHL. And it takes place in a quark.
Sounds like a dream? It is. But then you wake up.
10 years of puppet theatre for adults has led to this point.
To call it a monologue would be incorrect, since there are many puppets involved.
This might be Malmö Dockteater’s greatest hit yet. See it before it gets old.
This is a co-production in collaboration with Turteatern in Stockholm
Opening premiere 3rd April at Bastionen
