In today’s episode, we speak with Maria Aberg, a Swedish theatre director with a prestigious career in the UK and abroad, directing shows at the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, the Royal Exchange, Donmar Warehouse and the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm, to name a few. She is also the founder and Artistic Director of Projekt Utopia, formerly Projekt Europa - an international theatre company based in the UK, making bold, experimental work by migrant theatre makers for local and global audiences.
Maria spoke with us about how central the idea of friction is to her artistic practice, the reasons behind her company’s new name, and what she understands ‘migrant imagination’ to be - as well as the crucial role it plays in our theatre industry and society at large.
