Arabiska Teatern

Arabiska Teatern is founded December 15, 2015 as a non-profit organization, NGO. Arabiska Teatern's artistic core persons consist of professional (university educated and experienced) Arabic speaking actors/theater workers living in Europe, mostly in Sweden. Arabiska Teatern is an independent professional theater company in Europe working exclusively in the Arabic language. Our artistic strategy is based on the group's expertise to create performing arts in the mother tongue that we as actors master. Our public and communicative strategies assume that we can communicate with the Arabic-speaking audience and the audience in Arabic in an efficient, close manner with the target group. With our linguistic and cultural basis, we have as an Arab theater in Europe a good position to make relevant and engaging performing art that are both entertaining and challenging. We are mostly Syrian refugees. All educated actors. The purpose is simple. To produce Arabic theater for an Arabic audience in Europe. To give us immigrant artist opportunity, means, money and power to do what we are educated for, worked with and love to do: amazing theatre. But also to build and develop an Arabic culture in Europe with emphasis on human rights, gender equality, democratic rights, working aginst homophobia, anti-Semitism, etc
