The performance will take place from 11th to August 13th 2023 at Fylkingen in Stockholm which is an experimental venue for contemporary arts and music.
A group that received funding in this round was a Finnish theatre collective Glitcher. In their work the group explores popular culture, genre exploitation and the intersection between genres. The members have been invited to have a guest performance of their show The Porn Horror Musical 2 at Teater Får302 in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is a grassroot collaboration between two theatre collectives who are planning also new collaborations in the future.
