Under the heading Dramaten.Doc, Dramaten aims to provide a platform and a voice for playwrights, authors, and theater colleagues in conflict-affected areas.

There is a park. An ice cream bar. And you can go to the cinema. Or to the stadium, where the four friends usually meet—they don't plan anything in advance, they just go there. Life goes on. But, in the midst of all the ordinary, it is said that war is coming. Could it be real? It is real. The four

Unrecognized brings together six actors from Ukraine, Georgia, North Macedonia, Finland, and Sweden.

Bror has suffered memory loss after a bicycle accident, and Syster is tasked with recounting their shared childhood—car trips with their mother to historical battlefields. But Syster is lying.

An author speaks out to stand apart, to remember those murdered in Gaza. He hadn't planned to say anything, but he does anyway, because it's worse not to try to say something. He moves between the old world with his father in Egypt and the new world in the USA where his daughter is growing up. The f

A thick fog blankets the city. Probably Stockholm, probably the present, but everything is fluid. Here lies Huset, a place where those who have lost their footing pass through. The addicts, the social workers, the poets. The lovers and the despairing. People who all long for something different and

Evin and Silas are best friends. But they don't feel comfortable at school. Not in their bodies either, for that matter. Why does one even have to be human—humanity is so rotten? Evin would rather be a dolphin, chilling beneath the surface and leaping across the oceans towards the sunset in perfect

A group of very different dolls are trapped in a storage room. They long for freedom, to control their own destinies. But who are they really fighting against?

A mother has invited her three adult children home. She has something important to share about what will happen when she's gone, about how the children will manage without her.

Three dancers and a whole lot of cars! The little car has lost the map and drives around and around in the roundabout. The junk car makes strange noises and needs to be towed. The truck is tired and can't make it up the hill, while the sports car is lively and just wants to drive fast. Everywhere, v

On three occasions, psychologist and discussion leader Jonas Mosskin and an invited guest will delve into a play at Dramatenbaren.
