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 where 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 their dream of something more.

On stage are Mette Marqvardsen and Debbie Z Rennie, known from Riksteatern Crea's earlier productions. The performance is written by Mette Marqvardsen and Debbie Z. Rennie, directed by Lars Otterstedt and Mindy Drapsa, with masks and costumes by Anna Olofson and Lars Otterstedt, and voice performance by Kristina Snow.

The performance is presented in Swedish Sign Language and interpreted into spoken Swedish. For children and adults from age 6. Duration: 1 hour.
