Now she is in Athens, watching as another young woman, a stranger but uncannily familiar - almost her double - purchases a pair of mechanical dancing horses at a flea market. Elsa wants the horses too, but there are no more for sale. She drifts to the ferry port, on the run from her talent and her history. So begins a journey across Europe, shadowed by the elusive woman who bought the dancing horses. A dazzling portrait of melancholy and metamorphosis, August Blue uncovers the ways in which we seek to lose an old story, find ourselves in others and create ourselves anew.
Until August
Sitting alone beside the languorous blue waters of the lagoon, Ana Magdalena Bach contemplates the men at the hotel bar. She has been happily married for twenty-seven years and has no reason to escape the life she has made with her husband and children. And yet, every August, she travels by ferry here to the island where her mother is buried, and for one night takes a new lover. Across sultry Caribbean evenings full of salsa and boleros, lotharios and conmen, Ana journeys further each year into the hinterland of her desire and the fear hidden in her heart. Constantly surprising, joyously sensual, Until August is a profound meditation on freedom, regret, self-transformation, and the mysteries of love-an unexpected gift from one of the greatest writers the world has ever known.

August Overweening
August lever ett inrutat liv med katten Berit, i sitt hus långt inne i skogen. Varje morgon vaknar han av brevbärarens oväsen, skriker, förbannar eldklotet, äter sin sura mjölk med flingor Alla dagar är likadana, det är som att han lever om samma dag hela tiden men varför gör han det? Något skakar plötsligt om Augusts vardagsmönster och han tvingas i en annan riktning. Ett alldeles speciellt oläst brev och ett oväntat besök vänder världen upp och ner. Dessutom dyker minnet från ett annat liv, innan ensamheten, upp. Kanske kan han hitta tillbaka dit? Den här berättelsen ger kanske lite mod att våga släppa taget om sorg och det invanda och bekväma eller det oönskade. Att våga ta klivet och göra förändringar, göra det du känner att du måste fast det är jobbigt. Leva livet levande! Det kanske till och med blir fantastiskt?

August Strindberg
AUGUST STRINDBERG -"En djefla man som kan göra många konster"- 2012 är verkligen August Strindbergs år.Inte bara Sverige utan stora delar av Europa hedrar Strindbergs dödsår.Han bodde bl a i Paris och han verkade i Tyskland. Men störst uppmärksamhet röner han givetvis här hemma bland oss svenskar. Han var - och är - inte älskad av alla och det är väl en egenskap som utmärker en stark konstnärssjäl. Han var i långa stycken mycket kontroversiell och kom lätt på kant med andra på grund av sin uppriktighet och sina åsikter, inte minst om kvinnorna i hans omgivning. Strindberg var utan tvekan en mycket stor författare.Han skrev både vers och prosa, han skrev lättsamma dramer som t ex Hemsöborna men också sorgespel som Fröken Julie och tunga romaner som Inferno.Medverkande:Björn Granath, Ludvig Rasmusson, Margareta Bergius, Joe Sundelin m.f
