About Unga Klara

Unga Klara was formed in 1975, at the time as a division of Stockholms Stadsteater, and since then has led world-renowned explorative activities in the dramatic arts with a focus on the conditions of children and young people.

Since the summer of 2009 Unga Klara is no longer a division of Stockholms Stadsteater. In 2010 Unga Klara was reformed as an independent company, Unga Klara AB was founded by the non-profit organization Unga Klaras vänner. Artistic Director since the start in 1975 is Suzanne Osten.

Unga Klara has explored what constitutes dramatic art from the approach that a young audience is naturally entitled to the same high level of artistic quality as an adult audience. Based on the conviction that we can best express a positive outlook on life by speaking truthfully about its complexity, Unga Klara has tackled serious topics in a playful form, and has combined the heavy with the light, has explored, examined and developed ideas with test audiences.

The past 35 years of meetings, exploration, and purposeful effort have resulted in giving Unga Klara a unique position nationally and internationally.
