Regissören och koreografen Benke Rydman är tillbaka med en helt ny föreställning där publiken placeras på scenen, mitt bland artisterna. Där får de uppleva livets berg- och dalbana på nära håll genom dans, livemusik och scenkonst. En nyskapande upplevelse där gränser suddas ut och gemenskap väcker hopp. &quot;Lonely Together&quot; är baserad på den legendariska musiken av Avicii.

Lonely Together

Mozarts operafavorit med musiken du känner igen eller snabbt blir förförd av. Häng med i jakten på kärlek och frihet med Tamino och Pamina, Papageno och Papagena och, så klart, Nattens drottning. Trollflöjten i Ole Anders Tandbergs regi är en fantasifull och fartfylld föreställning som klingar av operahistoriens största hits – och alla sjunger på svenska!

Gamla stan

En föreläsning om de omvälvande fynden från den arkeologiska utgrävningen vid Slussen. Det har funnits en planlagd bebyggelse på Södermalm som är mycket äldre än vad vi tidigare har trott. Arkeologerna har grävt fram historiska föremål som visar att den materiella standarden var lika bra på den södra malmen som innanför stadsmuren.
