A conversation with Freja Hallberg, Swedish playwright and director and one of the founding artistic directors of the independent stage Konträr in Stockholm.

She works with performance across different scales and formats. Her practice includes plays, durational works, participatory formats and long-term artistic projects. Her work exists where performance meets philosophy and politics — raw, emotionally precise and formally unexpected.

Alongside her artistic practice, Hallberg develops long-term structures for artistic production and presentation. She founded PotatoPotato, co-leads the international platformSWEETS, and runs Konträr.

At Konträr, she recently presented the performances BAYWATCH and ART & MONEY.
