Angereds Teater, Public theatre in Angered suburb, Gothenburg, Sweden
Angereds Teater is a theatre housed within the Kulturhuset Blå Stället building that presents productions to audiences of all ages. The venue features a mix of Swedish and international dramatic works along with its own original stagings.
The theatre began in 1978 as part of Gothenburg's city theatre structure before gaining independence in 1996 to chart its own artistic direction. This separation allowed the venue to develop its own voice and explore experimental approaches to performance.
The theatre's name comes from Angered, the Gothenburg suburb where it sits inside Kulturhuset Blå Stället. It shares the building with Folkhögskolan in Angered to run Angereds Teaterskola, an acting school for children and young people. Its repertoire favours newly written drama, and its 2011 appearance at the Festival Internacional Cervantino in Mexico took the children's play Fjärilspiloterna abroad.
Visitors can reach the theatre by taking trams 4, 8, or 9 to Angered Centrum station. Parking is available at the nearby Angered 3 facility for those arriving by car.
The theatre's production 'Fjärilspiloterna' (The Butterfly Pilots) toured Egypt and Syria before its run in Gothenburg and was performed at the Festival Internacional Cervantino in Mexico in 2011. Its cast included Phax Said Cheik Ahamada, who developed his own breakdancing technique, and Ami Skanberg Dahlstedt, who combines dance styles from around the world.
