Aunts 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 where fairy tales come alive, memories become maps, and imagination takes over when reality falls short.

Aunties on the Run weaves classic tales by H. C. Andersen, Elsa Beskow, and Selma Lagerlöf into the story of two heroines who refuse to let life grow stiff. Behind the work and on stage are Mette Marqvardsen and Debbie Z Rennie, known from Riksteatern Crea's earlier productions, directed by Lars Otterstedt and Mindy Drapsa. Makeup and costumes: Anna Olofson & Lars Otterstedt. Voice performer: Kristina Snow.

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