As a participant you leave your usual life and during the evening you travel through different situations. A journey in an individual maze where fear meets hope, where the fragile exist and where nothing needs to be as it is. An invitation to participate in a political seans, at a time when everything may have been lost.

“Liksom i ett tv-spel är det jag som har kontrollen, men tänk om det hade varit på riktigt? Hur hade jag reagerat? Trots sitt enkla arrangemang får Nattövningar dessa frågor att hänga kvar långt efter att bilen släppt av oss i novembermörkret.” Cecilia Djurberg, Aftonbladet (read)

Nattövningar is produced by Osynliga Teatern, with support from Kulturbryggan.

Through headphones, participants are given individual instructions to follow a synchronized choreography where we explore the ongoing dilemma between what we think and how we actually act.
A possible place to reflect on our decisions and if we can change something for real.

The portrait is inspired by documentary material and authentic stories.

“Där på randen av dessa skildringar av alla tänkbara attentat och fruktansvärda händelser uppnår man en plötslig eufori över att faktiskt leva, omsluten av höstmörkret. Euforisk känsla att vandra vid katastrofens rand” Lars Ring, SvD (read)

Porträttet is co-produced with Kulturhuset Stadsteatern.

A performance installation which combines an intimate experience for one person per occasion with a live-stream that can be experienced online or in one of the exhibition spaces at Färgfabriken. The work combines a relational situation with an all-encompassing environment where questions of trust and empathy is tested in relation to our private sphere. The exhibition is based on public telephone conversations and is divided into two parts. As a visitor, you can choose to participate in the installation either as The Narrator or as The Observer, or as both.

The Opera Singer who only sings at funerals. The senior citizen who secretly have a death clinic and carries out euthanasia. The woman who have found the key to resurrecting her deceased husband. These are the actual sections about the fascination of life's mortality and an invitation to visit places that a common living person usually does not have access to.
During the evening you will be guided through situations where you will be given the opportunity to handle the silence, the separation and the need for comfort that occurs in these rooms. You meet other people during one evening and what brings you together is the thought of what happens to us when we die.

“Slutet på "Slutet" ska inte avslöjas, det är vackert och förklarat. När vi kliver ut i sommarkvällen är det som att födas igen. Med alla sinnen på spänn och med en insikt om att ta tillvara ljuset, värmen och dagarna som är kvar.” Lars Ring, SVD (read)

“ Jag ställer ner urnan jag burit med mig genom föreställningen, fingrar i jorden, och hör att det snyftas runtomkring mig. Vi blir omsvepta av filtar och av den varma känslan denna väl genomtänka och fint genomförda ceremoni ger oss. En stillsam förberedelse på det vi alla har att vänta.”

Slutet is produced by Osynliga Teatern with support from the Swedish Arts Council, Kulturrådet, Stockholms Läns landsting and Stockholms stad.

The audience was taken on a journey through the old chair factory in Nässjö, from within the many rooms of the factory the audience would enter a series of different memories, as recalled by themselves or by those they met there.
The performance was a sound- and theatre experience where the audience was given instructions through headphones, as well as direct instructions from the participants.
