Baltic Sea Festival Science Lab

What does research on electric bacteria sound like, or sustainable consumption? For the second year in a row, young researchers and composers create new works that combine innovative Baltic Sea-related research with brand-new music. These works are performed by the researchers themselves together with members of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. This year’s themes are viability and circularity, looking beyond technical innovations toward how society can move from linear to circular consumption.

    Who will save Alfie Atkins?

    Alfie sits alone in the apartment where he lives and feels lonely. He has moved to a new place and doesn’t know any of the other children there. Sometimes his imaginary friend Malcolm appears, and when they play together, Alfons always gets to decide — like being the train driver when they play trains. The problem is that Mållgan never shows up when he is really needed, like when the “big boys” chase Alfons and spray his jacket with water pistols. A performance about friendship, based on Alfie Atkins, the beloved children’s book character created by Gunilla Bergström.
