About us
Our History and Development: A Journey from the 1990`s to the Present
TP-Theatre: A Journey of Innovation, Social Engagement, and Transformative Theatre
TP-Theatre was founded in the early 1990`s, and since then, we have continuously evolved, adapting to the needs of society and the theatre world.
Over the years, we have grown from a small group to a significant player in the Swedish theatre scene, known for our innovative approach, social engagement, and interactive productions.
Our journey has been marked by a commitment to using theatre as a tool for awareness, empathy, and social change. Through our work, we have engaged with thousands of individuals across generations, building lasting relationships with schools, communities, and institutions.
TP-Theatre: Pushing Boundaries and Sparking Conversations on Societal Challenges
Today, TP-Theatre continues to push boundaries, creating experiences that not only entertain but also spark important conversations about societal challenges.
From our roots in Gothenburg, Sweden to our national and international collaborations, we remain dedicated to making a meaningful impact on society through the power of theatre.
How to Be a Good Friend?: An Interactive Theatre Experience that Strengthens Empathy and Social Responsibility
One of our most prominent and in-demand projects is our interactive performance "How to Be a Good Friend?" This production is aimed at students aged 7–19 and is used as an value-based tool to increase understanding of friendship, empathy, and how to handle conflicts constructively.
The performance is specifically designed to encourage active participation, meaning that the students are not just spectators but also active co-creators of the theatre experience.
By being part of the performance, students have the opportunity to directly influence the storyline, which strengthens their ability to reflect on their own behaviors and relationships.
A Platform for Conversation and Change: TP-Theatre Promotes Values and Social Responsibility in Schools
The project has had a very successful spread and, since 2018, has involved over 7,000 students from various parts of Sweden. Through their participation, it has created a platform for discussions about important issues related to social responsibility and how we can create safer and more inclusive communities.
In addition to this value-based work, we have also collaborated with many schools and educational institutions to drive projects that promote values-based work.
The theatre's productions align with the Swedish National Agency for Education's values-based plan and aim to both entertain and educate, by highlighting important societal issues through an artistic and engaging approach.
Theatre for Children and Youth
Promoting Empathy and Understanding: By creating productions aimed at children and young people, TP-Theatre helps develop empathy and understanding for others. Children learn important values early on through theatre, such as cooperation, respect for differences, and the ability to see things from others' perspectives.
Inclusive Programs for At-Risk Youth: TP-Theatre also works with youth at risk of social exclusion or involvement in crime, by creating programs where they participate in theatre creation and are given the opportunity to express their feelings and experiences.
This provides a positive and creative channel for young people to process their experiences and create new pathways forward.
TP-Theatre: Pushing the Boundaries of Theatre and Giving Voice to Important Social Issues
TP-Theatre has also continued to be a driving force in artistic creation, constantly pushing the traditional boundaries of theatre.
By combining theatre with interactivity and value-based work, we create a unique experience where both young people and adults have the opportunity to reflect on societal issues while also being part of the artistic process.
The theatre group works not only to challenge and renew the form of theatre but also to give a voice to issues that are often overlooked in traditional theatre.
TP-Theatre: Building Bridges and Creating Change through Theatre and Social Engagement
By using theatre to highlight issues such as bullying, social exclusion, and conflict resolution, TP-Theatre contributes to transforming society on a deeper level. Through its productions, we actively work to build bridges between different social groups and create a more inclusive and understanding world.
TP-Theatre's activities also extend beyond the borders of Gothenburg, with several national and international collaborations. Our work with schools, youth organizations, and cultural institutions ensures that our impact reaches far beyond the stage and into classrooms, community projects, and value-based initiatives.
National and International Expansion: TP-Theatre as a Role Model in Theatre and Education
We have also expanded our field of work, and are now working with both national and international collaborations. Over the years, we have developed a broad audience and have made our work accessible to an international stage.
Our innovative, inclusive methods and educational programs have become a role model for other theatre groups and educational institutions across Europe.
A Reality-Based Theatre Experience with Theatre Tram 621
More than 16,000 spectators experienced a journey through Gothenburg, where we created an atmosphere that encouraged close contact between actors and the audience, resulting in a dynamic and realistic theatre experience.
TP-Theatre: Pioneers in Creating Theatre Experiences that Touch, Educate, and Engage
The theatre has a strong connection to its audience and works to build long-term relationships by offering more than just a performance; we offer an experience that touches, educates, and engages.
With our combination of creativity, social engagement, and pedagogy, TP-Theatre continues to be a pioneer in the Swedish theatre world.
TP-Theatre: A Driving Force for Social Change through Art, Empathy, and Determination
TP-Theatre is a living example of how art, especially theatre, can be used to create social change.
We continue to work for a more empathetic and conscious world, where theatre is not only for entertainment but also to foster greater understanding, engagement, and change on both an individual and collective level.
With our commitment to both artistic quality and social impact, TP-Theatre remains an important driving force for positive change in today's society.
