Presentation

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.


TEATERMASKINEN

We also produce monologues on thematic basis e.g.
unemployment, sexual abuse of children, racism, union matters,
the objectification of women etc. In all, we have produced 15 monologues
since 1997. The monologues are made to be played
in schools, in meetings, unemployment projects etc, in order
to meet new audiences and to create rooms of democracy.
After each performance there is a debate on the issue. When possible,
we combine the monologues with lectures held by journalists, scientists,
writers. We also produce three-day-seminars with monologues,
lectures and debates in different Swedish cities.

Korsväg Riddarhyttan(Crossroads Riddarhyttan)
As a result of our artistic and ideological work, we have found it necessary to develop a new scene in our home village, where it is possible for new art and new ideas to take shape. Our ambition is to create a centre for stage artists, organisations, writers, scientists from all over the world, where we can meet, collaborate, have workshops and lectures and rehearse. During the last two years we have had lectures, guest performances, concerts and workshops to start making this meeting point for crossover art and ideological work. For us, the international contacts are vital and necessary. For us, the stories and work of postmodern
Europe are essential, in the making and developing of new art and ideas.
