Aunties on the Run

Selma searches for her late husband. Elsa longs for her new boyfriend. Despite their differences, they form an unexpected alliance and escape for a day from the nursing home - into an adventure neither of them could have imagined.

Aunties on the Run is a humorous and imaginative performance in which classic fairy tales by H. C. Andersen, Elsa Beskow, and Selma Lagerlöf are woven into the story. Two heroines who refuse to let life stiffen, who seek new directions and who, despite age, sorrow, and longing, refuse to abandon the dream of something more.

Behind the work and on stage are Mette Marqvardsen and Debbie Z Rennie, known from Riksteatern Crea's earlier productions. Direction: Lars Otterstedt & Mindy Drapsa. Makeup & costumes: Anna Olofson & Lars Otterstedt. Voice performer: Kristina Snow.

The performance is in Swedish sign language and interpreted into spoken English. For children and adults from age 6. Running time: 1 hour.
