About us
Mittiprickteatern is one of the oldest independent theatre companies in Sweden – celebrates 50 years in 2024.
Mittiprickteatern was founded in 1974 and is one of the oldest independent theatre companies in Sweden.
For 50 years our goal has been to create performances for children of all ages and to inspire them to explore the endless possibilities of their imaginations.
We believe that theatre can be used as a tool to discover, understand and ultimately change the world.
Our shows are played on tour all over Sweden (sometimes internationally, we have toured in Spain, Norway, Finland, Russia and Zimbawe) as well as on our stages:
· Main stage – Påfågeln (which we share with Pantomimteatern)
· Small stage – Emågatan
We give about 300 performances a year.

Boll? Boll. Boll!
English: Ball? Ball. Ball!
Boll? Boll. Boll! is a fantastical, playful and physical theatre show about a dream-like world where everything is possible. Where soft building blocks and a small red ball suddenly can turn into a mouthwatering cake while a big one turns into a hot air balloon. A world where one single word can describe and express anything.
The constantly changing and moving scenography stretches, expands, folds and transforms in imaginative and creative ways as the story progresses.
The actors touch subjects such as friendship, jealousy, joy, anger and love in a playful manner that allows for own interpretation, abstract thinking and motivates creative expression.
With minimal use of language and through movement and music it inspires its audience to express themselves and challenge the way they think.
Boll? Boll. Boll! is designed to tour both nationally and internationally. It can easily be adapted to different kind of venues, schools, stages or festivals appealing to both youth and adults. We bring all the technology and equipment that the show requires. The performance communicates visually and is mostly non-verbal except for one word that easily can be translated into any language.
What the critics say:
”She has done it before, the director and playwright Josefin Lennström. This to defy the convention of what theatre for young children can and should be.”
”Boll? Boll. Boll! can be seen as a play for the eyes or as an art performance. It’s fun and totally unexpected, which is one of the important tasks of theatre art.”
”Boll? Boll. Boll! makes the preschool crowd cheer.”
Pia Huss, Dagens Nyheter
Boll? Boll. Boll! was selected as 2023’s best children’s theater performance in Sweden by Dagens Nyheter’s reviewer Pia Huss!
Mysteriet på gården
English: The playground mystery
This is an exciting performance that is played outdoors on the preschool / school yard.
Three fairy tale archaeologists arrive to the school yard because they’ve heard that a fairy tale has taken place right here. A long time ago, long before there were houses and toys here. Now they need the children’s help to solve the mystery of which fairy tale it was. Together they must overcome obstacles and challenges.
The school yard becomes a desert, a castle, and a large forest and with courage and imagination they solve the mystery.
Mysteriet på gården is an interactive and playful open-air performance that has played over 300 times and has toured internationally.
Mysteriet på gården is designed to tour both nationally and internationally. It can easily be adapted to any kind of playground. We bring all the technology and equipment that the show requires. The performance is translated into Spanish and English.
