Theater - Stallet (The Stable)

6 May 2019

Volunteer duties today with Kompis Sverige - a comedy performance in Hotel Rival which is located a stone throw's away from Mariatorget station (the red line). It is literally a stone throw's away if you have got a strong arm. Just a distance of 200m. The performance entitled 'Stallet', which means 'the stable' in Swedish is about behaviour in a flock as in a group of your own kind where everything is stable. It is certainly a funny show and they lighten the atmosphere on how difficult and challenging it is to accept changes in a flock. I suppose this show is trying to tell us about the current situation in Sweden where the country is accepting asylum-seekers and the locals have to get used to this change, and accept new people into their flock.


The first act itself was the actors acting as birds flying in a group, and in swoop a new bird which gave the group a hard time to accommodate to the new bird (actor). But they eventually got used to it, and missed the new bird (actor) when the new bird (actor) left the group. 



There was a guest actor for the show which is the guy. He seems to be famous in Sweden. 


The end of the 90-minute show. And oh, I got some tips on how to avoid eye contact - stare at the ground when you walk or pretend to talk on the phone!
