| TEATERMASKINEN is a centre for contemporary, ideological and revolutionary art based in Riddarhyttan in the rural areas of the former Swedish mining district Bergslagen. Our ambition is to produce performance/theatre which stretches the boundaries of stage, mind and the limits of the present. Therefore the works of Antonin Artaud, Heiner Müller and Tasumi Hijikata are important elements for us. Therefore we work with a research project in exploring arts where we seek for new expressions. Our work is based on a dialectic process - between script and physics, between language and metaphysics, between various forms of art. We have produced two major plays since 1999; Bordermaterial WW4 - a scenic analysis of the capitalistic system and extasy +/- zero - a tale of the consumption society, both touring performances. We also produce monologues on thematic basis e.g. Korsväg Riddarhyttan(Crossroads Riddarhyttan) |
