RESIDENCIES

Stockholm, Sweden, 2026

Vilnius, Lithuania, 2026

A week-long international residency in Vilnius bringing together artists from Belarus and Sweden to explore theatre as a tool for community-building and reflection on contemporary social processes.

4 playwrights · 4 performing arts groups · 2 creative weeks
Dialogakuten is Dramalabbet's mini-festival for extremely newly produced drama. Four playwrights each write a dialogue that is then interpreted at lightning speed by four performing arts groups. The result is presented during an intensive performance weekend at the end of August.​

​

Charissa was part of the Nordic Guests group and directed Formødre by Greenlandic playwright Aviana Steinbacher. The piece was performed by the playwright herself and Danish actress Amalie Bergholdt.​

Hedlandet Residence offers a rustic refuge for literary work: for writing, conversations, contemplation and coexisting. The residence welcomes professional cultural workers within the wider literary field that intend to probe into an idea, a manuscript draft or a new collaboration.
