Erik Linghede is an active choreographer, dancer, actor and photographer from Stockholm.

His work as a choreographer has been shown on some of the country's major stages such as Dansens Hus, Norrlandsoperan, Stora Teatern in Gothenburg and others. Erik is driven by an innovative drive in his work and lets the specific project idea together with desire control the creative process and expression / design.

"Idioter I Skogen" (2025) is Erik Linghede's first solo and fourth stage production.

Linghede began his journey in the field when he actively participated in the street dance/battle scene nationally and internationally during the period 2006-2014. During this period, Erik also produced a number of different battles and scenic concepts (Almost A Jam, Scandinavian Superjam & Oldschool Battle etc.).

Since 2014 Erik Linghede has concentrated on choreographing and producing his own stage works based on themes such as forbidden love, the human need for conviction and the border between fiction and reality, man and machine. ‘HOLD’ (2014), “IDIOM” (2016), “DRONE” (2018).

In recent years (2019-2024), Erik Linghede has reworked his choreographic practice through still photography in the exhibition series ‘High Definition 1 & 2’ (2020/2021) and ‘Portals’ (2023). In 2022, Erik Linghede presented his latest take on choreography through ‘SUNRISE’. A headphone-based concert where the sunrise at a specific viewpoint is choreographed through a customised soundtrack composed by Yared Tilahun Cederlund.

Alma Lindé is a playwright, scriptwriter, librettist and director. She has a bachelor's degree in drama/dramaturgy from Stockholm University of the Arts, and has written some thirty plays that have been staged in various theatres around Sweden.

This is how Alma describes her work:

"My vision as a playwright is really quite simple - I want to make people laugh, feel good and through my stories get to know different quirky characters that they probably would never have met otherwise. I have a great love for humanity, and the fact that we are so different is, I think, the greatest treasure of humanity. I love unlikely heroes, people who are stuck in an absolute truth about the way the world is, and forcing them to coexist with other characters with whom they clash a lot.

For me, humour is almost a sacred thing, something I truly believe is vital to humanity. I genuinely believe that you can reach just about anyone about just about anything if you tell the story with enough warmth, and if you make it funny enough."
