Commedia Gillet is Mask and Commedia Centrum's official Theatre company in Stockholm, Sweden.

We work with Masks, Puppets, Jesters and Commedia in our productions in searching for a visual theatre language that will make you laugh and wonder.

Commedia Gillet stands for young artistic creation, for a non represented theatre form and for a richer culture.

JOIN THE CULTURE PARADE!!!

We are planning a parade for culture on April 21. Starts at Mariatorget at 1 pm and ends at about 7 pm at Vita Berget in Stockholm. The idea is to do a big carnival with masks, clowns, big or small puppets, stylts, a lot of music, etc. We want to make a statement that Culture is very important in these days when governments are cutting foundings for Culture and education.
You are very welcomed to participate if you are in Stockholm at that time.
See you at Mariatorget.
