This spring, Västerbottensteatern is performing the play "Vid arken kl 8", which tells the story of three penguins who travel with the ark when the great flood comes. In a humorous and playful way, it addresses existential issues related to climate crisis, humanity and hope for the future.
Stories about the flood and the ark are found in most cultures. It shows the human need for stories to cope with and process disasters and crises. In this conversation, we listen to Lillemor Skogheden, director, and Mats Söderlund, author, who reflect on how we can talk to children and young people about the fateful issues of the future.
The talk is aimed at adult audiences.
Mats Söderlund is an author, poet and social commentator. He has published some twenty books, including the Ättlingarna trilogy, and has received several awards and grants for his work. He often lectures on fiction writing, climate and gender issues and also runs KlimatAkademin, a platform for using artistic methods in sustainable transition processes.
Lillemor Skogheden is a director, storyteller and educator at Västerbottensteatern and has directed the performance Vid arken kl. 8
