Nobelfestivalen

Season II coming in 2026!

Together with Svenska folkskolans vänner, Klockriketeatern introduces a completely new concept: a series of new texts written for the stage. During the season 2024-25 we presented ten new short works inspired by female Nobel writers.

For the first season of Nobelfestivalen we commisioned works from female and non-binary writers, chosen by a jury through an open call.

We arranged five different events, each one focusing on one nobel writer and two new texts inspired by her. The program each evening consisted of an introduction, stage readings of the new texts and discussion and analysis.

The five first Nobel writers are Svetlana Aleksijevitj, Annie Ernaux, Herta Müller, Toni Morrison and Selma Lagerlöf.
