Special from Sweden:
Tales from the North

by Stockholms Improvisationsteater 

 

Up in the north of Sweden there is a great tradition of telling stories. That’s why many famous Swedish authors, storytellers and filmmakers come from the north of Sweden. Stockholms Improvisationsteater will give everything they got to give you a good, entertaining totally improvised story in this typical Swedish style

The Feuilleton
by a mixed team of actors

10 minutes of the one and only Festival Feuilleton... (see Tuesday)

Special from USA
by Get Up

A swift and often comedic, narrative longform with a lot of action…  The inspiration on stage starts with theme music, picked by the audience, and the suggestions of the audience to that music...

From there on, nothing is certain…

After the show

Shortly after the show we will leave for the typical Dutch Café 'De 2 Zwaantjes'- Prinsengracht 114. Everyone is welcome to join us!

Astrid Lindgren style
by mixed team of actors 

Stockholms Improvisationteatre managed to turn the way Astrid Lindgren wrote into a format. Even better: they have taught this format to actors of the festival!
