Outdoor Program
We are proud to once again bring a large part of the festival out into the city's streets and public squares. With this year's edition of the festival, we want to be where people already are — in the heart of everyday life, in the midst of movement, in the center of the city.
Our outdoor programme offers unexpected encounters and performing arts experiences that may appear where you least expect them. Perhaps a street harlequin will cross your path and momentarily disrupt the city’s familiar rhythm. Perhaps you will encounter acrobats from Italy whose bodies and hair intertwine, or a French circus duo who transform ropes and balls into playful poetry.
Somewhere above our heads, a curious figure has settled in to observe life below. And at street level, musical rhythms, juggling, a chair, and an orange await in a performance where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
At Götaplatsen, this year’s largest outdoor production takes centre stage—a spectacular performance in which a crane literally lifts the performing arts to new heights.
We want the festival to be accessible to everyone. That is why the outdoor programme is free and open to all who wish to experience it. Whether you are a devoted festivalgoer, simply passing by on your way home, or discovering the performing arts for the very first time, you are warmly invited to explore the festival with us.
