Grotteatern celebrates 60 years as an association, and we are proud to be part of honoring one of Umeå’s most significant cultural institutions. Welcome to the premiere of the newly produced documentary about Grotteatern! Starting in the politically charged 1960s, through the liberated 70s, and up to the present day, the association has endured and evolved. Following the screening, join us for a celebration at Kajen, on the first floor of Väven.
Tom Åsberg has followed Umeå’s oldest amateur theater association, originally called Umeå Student Theater and founded by Kay Pollak and Staffan Ling, now known as Grotteatern. The film offers fascinating insights into Grotteatern’s history and highlights how the association has withstood both societal change and shifts in cultural policy.
