From Chaos to Creativity – Young People Explore the Apocalypse on Stage

On September 22, the research team of At the End of the World held a digital meeting with playwrights at Riksteatern/Länk to launch the collaboration From Chaos to Creativity – Young People Explore the Apocalypse on Stage.

This joint initiative between Lund University and Riksteatern engages young people across Sweden to explore and reimagine apocalyptic imaginaries through the performing arts. In dialogue with the research conducted within At the End of the World and in close collaboration with its research team, playwrights will create five new plays to be made available to youth theatre groups throughout the country.

The collaboration is supported by a research communication grant of nearly SEK 2,000,000 from Formas, awarded to Johannes Stripple. The project is managed jointly by Johannes Stripple and Natalie Bloch.

Further details about the project will be shared as the collaboration progresses.
