For you. And you, you and you.
More than 200 associations all over Sweden make up Riksteatern. We organise performances of plays, dance and music from other companies, and we run our own tours being The Swedish National Touring Theatre.
Even if you live in a small town or village, your Riksteatern association can still provide grand experiences. As an audience, you experience it. As a member, you make it possible.
The entire population is our audience. Our audience become members of our organisation, building up Riksteatern locally.

Ever since 1933, when the first local Riksteatern theatre association was established and the first Riksteatern tour took place, our organisation has been built on passion. We are present in your local area, and we travel all over the country. We stage our own productions and present theatrical performances by other companies. We are pro fessionals and volonteers working together.

It’s true – a lot has happened since we started. But that’s only the beginning. We are firebrands who remain passionate about organising, communicating and produc ing even more perfoming arts – for everyone, everywhere.

It is 50 years since we started to run activities for chil dren and young people. The dance company Cullberg was founded in 1967, and Riksteatern Crea has been working consciously with dramatic art in sign language since 1977. We are also tasked with promoting development and making contemporary dance and circus accessible all over Sweden.

Let performancethecommence!
In recent years, all kinds of events have had to be post poned or even cancelled. In many places, dramatic art has been shelved completely, awaiting the return of better times. And when village courtyards, culture centres and theatres stand empty, this inevitably creates a void which serves to underline the significance of culture. They are ready to fill up once more. And we are ready to fill them. That special moment when everyone has taken their seat, the murmuring subsides and the lights go out. It’s back.

That’s the way it’s always been, of course. But if the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that nothing can be taken for granted – least of all the joy of shared experienc es. We don’t know what the future holds, but one thing is for sure: we’ll be there, generating experiences you will never forget.
lastartsPerformingprovidesmemoriestoalifetime.Rememberthat.
Dance, music, theatre, circus ... and everything in between. Performing arts is a broad concept, and the actual experience is even grander. Being able to share an experience with others, something that moves and sometimes even changes you, is hugely important.

Cullberg
Cullberg is a national and international repertoire company based in Botkyrka, just outside Stockholm. We work tirelessly to ensure that a large audience both in Sweden and abroad has the opportunity to experience contemporary dance. In partnership with choreographers and artistic teams from all parts of the world, we explore ideas about how to define, produce and present dance. This exploratory work is the very foundation of the company that is con stantly in motion at the heart of the international arena. Always challenging, always relevant.
As of July 1, 2022 Cullberg is led by artistic director Kristine Slettevold and managing director StinaCullbergDahlström.isa part of Riksteatern. the solos

The Riksteatern regional and local associations may enter into agre ements with regional or municipal authorities which – in the same way as the government guidelines affect the national activities – have an impact on the work of the com pany at regional and local level.
Riksteatern’s ultimate decisionmaking body meets once every four years. The event brings together representatives from the local Riksteatern associations to make joint decision on objectives and guidelines. The congress also elects the Riksteatern Board for the coming 4-year period.
