  • A new production at Husby Theatre revisits the 2013 riots through the conflicts of one family.
  • The play addresses criticism that local residents’ voices received too little attention during the unrest and its media coverage.

The 2013 Husby riots return to the stage at Husby Theatre in a production that explores the unrest through one family’s conflicts. The drama combines intensity with humor.

The riots in Husby during early summer 2013 included car fires and stone-throwing at police and received extensive media coverage. The coverage also drew criticism because residents’ voices were not heard.

Now Kulturhuset Stadsteatern is giving its Husby stage space for a theatrical look back. Olof Hanson directs the children’s and youth production, with Ahmed Berhan, Sharmarke Elmi, Binyam Haile and Segen Tesfai in the cast.
