Theater

Kungsträdgården

The immortal, impossible love story told from a different point of view. When Mats Ek interprets Shakespeare’s timeless play, the complex conflict is viewed from the perspective of Juliet. Juliet &amp; Romeo has in Ek’s idiosyncratic version become a modern classic about family, love and the struggle for freedom. The ballet, with music by Tchaikovsky in Anders Högstedt’s arrangement, has been an international success story since the world premiere in 2013, when it was conceived for the Royal Swedish Ballet.

CFHILL presents Martin Wickström’s first solo exhibition, OSLO. Rooted in superrealism and a poetic visual language, Wickström captures still moments where time seems to pause. Drawing on film, photography, and media imagery, the exhibition moves between the concrete and the suggested, inviting the viewer into a state rather than a narrative.

At Själagårdsgatan 19, where the Jewish Museum is housed, a synagogue once stood. The synagogue served as a centre of Jewish life in the city and across the country. For nearly a century, from 1795 to 1870, the Jews of Stockholm gathered here to take part in community life and to seek guidance and support from the rabbi. The people who prayed, lived, and worked here were pioneers of Jewish life in Sweden. This exhibition tells their story and the story of their Old Town shul.
