NEXT TO OUR THEATER WORKSHOP IN HÖG WE HAVE CREATED PEGASUS GARDEN.

A UNIQUE CLIMATE-SMART GREEN ROOM FOR LOCAL, REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCES, 15 MIN FROM LUND, 20 MIN FROM MALMÖ.

PEGASUS GARDEN IS EUROPE’s ONLY ECOLOGICAL THEATER GARDEN.

PEGASUS GARDEN AND THE THEATER WORKSHOP IN HÖG IS SOUTH SWEDEN’S ONLY PERMANENT STAGE FOR PUPPETTHEATER AND ANIMATION FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.

Here the public has the opportunity to meet artists and ecologists who with insight and humour can communicate images of the future where both collective experience and creative joy can find place.

The project Pegasus Garden is idealistic and non-profit even though Staffan Björklund’s Theatre is subsidized by local, regional and state authorities. The theatre offers both public events and showings of the garden, it’s ecological installations as solarpanels, suncells, windmill, compost toilet, organic farming.

And of course Open Air-Performances played with puppets made out of natural materials, for families, schools, nurseryschools and other groupes in the summertime!

The theatre has given Seminars with slideshows concerning this unique theatre-garden-project at a lot of international festivals and theatre meetings in Europe, Africa, Russia as well as Asia.

Since 2015, we organize PEGASUS FAMILY in PEGASUS GARDEN. A large international Visual Interactive Summer Puppet Theater Festival

The festival, which is aimed at family audiences, is based on two values: Ecology and UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

MÜNCHHAUSEN – YOUR PERSONAL FANTASY TRAINER

HOMO LUDENS – THE PLAYING MAN

THREE ON A STRAW

Life is full of wonderful and fun fantasies!
With a little practice, you can fully experience them.
Meet Your Personal Fantasy Trainer: Münchhausen!

In an international co-production, he takes us to a Gym where training equipment is animated and gets dream roles in a real tall tale!
Join Münchhausen on a journey to the Palace of  Emperors and Sultans, and to the Moon!
In the gym it is stretched and strained most of the time!
But not on the truth! 

ENJOY A 7 MIN VIDEO

The performance is an international visual physical interactive co-production, based on Rudolph Erich Raspe´’s iconic book BARON MÜNCHHAUSEN’S STRANGE JOURNEYS AND ADVENTURES TO LAND AND WATER.

Much of the material in the book about Münchhausen’s adventures had been heard by Raspe from the real Baron von Münchhausen, who lived in Hanover in the 18th century and was fond of tall tales that had the ambition to entertain rather than be believed.

The show is the second part of our international trilogy about how Fantasy can give us a slightly better and more fun life: HOMO LUDENS – THE PLAYING MAN, MÜNCHHAUSEN – THE DREAMING MAN, SYLVESTER – THE REFLECTING MAN.

THE WORLD IS A PLAYGROUND AND WE ARE ALL CHILDREN IN IT!

Play formed us into cultural beings!
Play is the prerequisite for humanitarianism and peaceful togetherness.
It’s for everyone, and it’s for free! It’s not for real!
It has no connection to profit or property! It has its own rules!

WELCOME TO OUR PLAYGROUND!

Here we´ll play! Here the journey is as valuable as the goal.
Play gives joy and space for creativity.
Transformation becomes the story!

For adults and children from 8-9 years.
60 persones on chairs in a circle on a stagefloor in larger theater rooms/blackboxes, or in a semicircle in cultural rooms as galleries, museums, libraries…

On the outskirts of the little village,
right where the oxen were grazing,
lived a farmer with his wife. 

He was always happy….
But she was sad all day long.
Suddenly what happened happened!
And if it hadn´t happened, all this would never have been told!

Very first performance April 2017

Here they are!
Eager birds
Lively horses
Meditative sheep!
 
All springing from the same silent stem!
And what they make up….
Nobody could have imagined,
Everything can happen in the Playhouse!
 
A play about creativity.
Musical and with almost no words, on how a woodcarver and her little son encourage each other’s ideas and inventions when they jointly give life to a large wooden block with a will of its own!
