DOCKTEATERN TITTUT Dockteatern Tittut, founded in
1977, was the first puppet theatre to perform continuously for children aged two and up. Dockteatern Tittut creates exciting, artistically strong performances, always focused on young children who may be attending their first theatrical production. Aware of how important it is to introduce the performance, the ensemble meets the audience in the foyer to build trust. The company has received various awards, including prizes from ASSITEJ and the Swedish government for children’s and young adult drama. The theatre has a permanent venue in Stockholm but also tours extensively. Over the years, the company has made guest appearances in over 50 countries – from Japan in the east to the U.S. in the west. The company has collaborated with Stockholmsoperan, Riksteatern, the Children’s Theatre Company of Minneapolis, and Teatro Gioco Vita in Italy. Dockteatern Tittut aims to present drama that engages and touches audiences. The theatre takes an innovative approach, in keeping with the present day, and is responsive to impressions from research and other art forms.
