Theatre In-Balance


Is a Theater Company and Institute, an ongoing physical theater platform and artistic exploration for performing artists built upon the challenge of ecology and gender  within the performing arts. It applies techniques from the Art of object theatre using mask, props and puppetry and physical theater such as dance, circus, mime.


Our aim is to use the object to communicate and tell stories; the object as a value is a fundamental challenge in today's political and climate crisis, related to body language, connected to nature and physicality. Founded in 2016, in Sweden, Theater In-Balance works in collaboration with theatre Collectif Masque/La MEG in Paris
