Teater Pero

Teater Pero is a Stockholm theatre company that stages plays for children, young people, and adults, with its artistic base built on mime, movement, music, and dialogue. It was founded in 1983 by Peter Engkvist and Roger Westberg, and Engkvist is still listed as the artistic director. For many years the company ran two stages on Sveavägen in central Stockholm, but after leaving those premises in 2020 it has continued from its office and visitor address at Hallvägen 36 in Johanneshov, with the postal address at Box 706, 120 02 Årsta. The company is known for touring widely in Sweden and abroad, and one of its productions, Örjan – The Eagle Afraid of Heights, received the Swedish Government’s award for children’s and youth theatre in 1992. Practical details are simple: the current contact number is 08-612 99 00, and it’s best to check the programme on pero.se before going since performances and bookings vary by production.
