Folkteatern

Folkteatern is a place for anyone curious about the world we live in. Through theatre, dance, music, talks and other artistic expressions, the venue explores the issues that matter. With four stages under one roof, there’s space for both grand productions and intimate performances, from powerful drama to delicate performance art and thought-provoking conversations. The programme blends newly written works, unexpected takes on classics and guest performances from independent groups. Everything is driven by a desire to challenge, move and open up new perspectives. Located at Järntorget since the 1950s, Folkteatern is a key part of Gothenburg’s cultural life, rooted in the tradition of public education and broad community engagement. Whether you’re dropping by out of curiosity or coming as a passionate fan of the arts you’ll find something here that sparks reflection.
