The Culture Reservation is a place where artists have gathered and created a centre to make new good situations possible.
The Culture Reservation works like a shield towards the dominance of the comercial powers.
Teatermaskinen is the common organisation that makes this try.

The Reservation is located in Riddarhyttan, in the municipality of Skinnskatteberg, in Bergslagen, in the County of Västmanland,
in the Nordic countries, in Europe, in the last outpost of the Northern Taiga Belt,
Thus, on the Red Earth, that has connected cultures for thousands of years.

In different places, where cultures have been threated, reservations have been created, so that the memory of the non-dominant culture can remain.
In Sweden, there are no reservations like this, but around the world, there are municipalities and regions that holds reservations. Now we create the first one here.

The Culture Reservation exists as a living organism that mutates and grows in the flows created by the cultural meetings, looking for a new future to live in, to have it good.

RJIET(Red earth institute for experimental theory)
RJIET is the research platform of the Culture Reservation. Here we gather thinkers from different positions and from different fields to discuss and develop new theories. We also host the Room for theory where we discuss texts and try out other methods to create spaces of dialogue. Also in the productions, researchers from RJIET are active with knowledge, questions and materials that feed into the production process.
Vi går en annan väg (We go another way)
is part of Projekt Riddarhyttan.

This is a performance where we invite the participants for a one and a half day walk through the landscape in the Culture Reservation. Together we travel from the 14th century til today, telling the hidden and forgotten areas of Bergslagen which is the area in which we live. Projekt Riddarhyttan is a project that started in 2007 and works with people in our village. In the project we have made concerts, small performances, exhibitions, meetings and seminars. Next step is to explore the possibilities to connect the Culture Reservation and Riddarhyttan to other places where art plays a central part in the development of a village or a suburb and to create a project based on the sharing of experiences and the mobility of artists and citizens around the world.

Welcome to the club in the heart of the Culture reservaton

Wanna party? Wanna change or swap identity? Come to Reservation Design on the border to the Culture Reservation. Here you can get clothing for your alter ego and perhaps a piece of advise. After this you might be ready for something completely different. Like a dooms day party at mid winter or The strange Market that takes place the 15th and 16th of June. In the Culture Reservation nothing is for certain. Take a trip down the forest road and see for yourself.

Temporary Monad – to create a scenic room for a common universe
Temporary Monad is a surface of co-production that has never existed before. It emanates from the intention of understanding the relations between indigenous cultures and the different perceptions of the world. How does the connections look like? Can we create a temporary monad that happens in the meeting between perceptions of the world? What can we understand by working together? What can the audience tell when it meets representations that happens on the side of the idea structures of the major society.

Temporary Monad Homepage

In the project we gather artists, dancers, choreographers, directors from different parts of the world and work together based on our own experiences, myths, life. We start from the movement, the body, the room and let everything take place. It is an investigation built on practical work and physical understanding. It is a project based on perceptions of the world where ways of expression other than the written language forms the basis for understanding the world.How can a world like this be represented here and now? The project is based on a series of workshops in the Culture Reservation where we explore the roomly relations between objects, bodies, stories, myths, maps. Together we create a space for this work and we continuously welcome the audience and researchers in order to deepen and strengthen the work. Along the road, we expand the production group and invite artists we think can add new elements to the working process.
During the summer season we merge room and movement into a living, installation based production which is in constant change. The first premiere is planned for the fall of 2013. From there we continue the work in the winter time for performances during 2014. In Temporary Monad we connect the roots with a contemporary performance art.



Truth Motherfucker - a project on telling the truth

We have met young people all over Sweden for over 15 years. And what we can say is: the kids are not alright. Self-inflicted injuries, bulimia, anorexia, eating disorders, drug abuse, criminality, apathy are all symptoms that has been revealed during these meetings. But what is the real problem? What can we see and experience if we together with the carriers of these experiences tell these stories from stage? Can we see anything that is common? Can we find the Truth motherfucker?
