PEGASUS GARDEN

Alongside its theatre workshop the theatre has created Pegasus Garden, a unique Theatre-Garden, a Forum for Culture and Ecology. In this naturally beautiful environement the theatre arranges cultural and ecological activities for the general public and for children´s groups. Here the public has the opportunity to meet artists and ecologists who with insight and humour can communicate images of the future where both collective experience and creative joy can find place.

The project Pegasus Garden is idealistic and non-profit even though Staffan Björklund’s Theatre is subsidized by local, regional and state authorities. The theatre offers both public events and showings of the garden, it’s ecological installations as solarpanels, suncells, windmill, compost toilet, organic farming. And of course Open Air-Performances played with puppets made out of natural materials, for families, schools, nurseryschools and other groupes in the summertime!

The theatre has given Seminars concerning this unique theatre-garden-project at international festivals and theatre meetings
in Europe, Africa, Russia as well as Asia.
