Actors Katarina Krogh and Fabian Hedlund, together with director Johan Bark and Nobel Prize Museum curator Carin Klaesson, are creating a completely new production based on texts from Nobel Prize laureates in literature. 30 September marks the premiere of the performance, which has emerged from a form of theatre lab.","info":[{"title":"Press release","link":""},{"title":"28 August 2023","link":""}],"post_block":[{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","text_block":"
As early as last spring, work began on developing the performance, which is entitled \u201cBeing Human\u201d. The script will be a work in progress all the way to the premiere, with the aid of structured improvisation during rehearsals. This working method is called \u201cdevising\u201d \u2500 a form of theatre lab that results in a performance in which reality and seriousness co-exist with playfulness. This experimental way of creating theatre has been deliberately chosen in line with the Nobel Prize Museum\u2019s ambition to test new formats for a future Nobel Center in Stockholm.<\/p>\n
There will be scenes featuring music, song and movement \u2500 the action will shift between theatre, dance and performance art.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth theatre and the Nobel Prize can sometimes be perceived as a little pretentious, and I don\u2019t want to fall into that trap,\u201d says director Johan Bark. \u201cThe performance should feel a bit dirty and bold. Our ambition is that it should also be fun. I want the audience to laugh.\u201d<\/p>\n
The theatre performance will feature texts by literature laureates such as Svetlana Alexievich, Annie Ernaux, Louise Gl\u00fcck and Wis\u0142awa Szymborska. The audience will also meet the main character in laureate P\u00e4r Lagerkvist\u2019s famous novel \u201cThe Dwarf\u201d. But it will be a new interpretation of him, where he is placed in a more contemporary context \u2500 an example of how existing texts can gain a new life on the theatre stage.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll the words spoken on stage will be written by literature laureates,\u201d says Johan Bark. \u201cThat\u2019s our framework. But it will not be a traditional reading. Nor will anyone dress up as Alfred Nobel or Selma Lagerl\u00f6f.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","galley":[{"ID":30639,"id":30639,"title":"Teaterkoncept 1","filename":"Teaterkoncept-1-1.jpg","filesize":752899,"url":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Teaterkoncept-1-1.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/en\/experimental-theatre-concept-to-be-presented-at-the-nobel-prize-museum\/teaterkoncept-1\/","alt":"","author":"9","description":"","caption":"Katarina Krogh and Fabian Hedlund.
