Stockholm's July 17 Highlights: A Musical Twist and a Reading Dog

Stockholm is buzzing with cultural offerings on July 17, presenting a varied calendar for residents and visitors alike. Among the highlights is a unique musical production and an engaging event for young readers.

The Parkteatern at Galärparken will host a guest performance by Östgötateatern titled 'Unfortunate.' This musical offers a twist on the classic Disney tale 'The Little Mermaid,' shifting the focus to the sea witch Ursula. Created by Robyn Grant and Daniel Foxx, the production explores themes of norms, the body, power, and exclusion, and is recommended for ages 13 and up.

For younger audiences, the Gamla Stans bokhandel is holding a special reading session as part of its 'Summer Break Extra' program. Children aged 5 to 9 are invited to listen to readings from the book 'Hundarnas stad' by Peter Lidbeck and Fabian Göransson. Following the reading, attendees will have the opportunity to meet and pet Sinbad, a dog training to become a reading therapy dog.

Additionally, art enthusiasts can explore the exhibition "Tal R – elefanten i rummet" (Tal R – The Elephant in the Room) at Millesgården, running throughout the summer. The internationally acclaimed Danish artist Tal R uses his work to question what people choose to see or ignore, inviting viewers into his distinctive creative world.
