Performance by the mechanical theatre
A temporary artwork by Ellinor Åslund called “The Mechanical Theatre”, featuring puppetry and marionettes, will be on display until 15 March 2026 on the campus in Lund.
The work is part of a collaboration between Akademiska Hus and the Swedish National Public Art Council and can be found in two locations on Sölvegatan and one location up by the student union building Kårhuset at LTH.
On Wednesday, 25 February at 17:00, there will be a show with Ellinor Åslund herself singing and performing. The performance starts at LUX on Sölvegatan and makes its way to the student union building Kårhuset at LTH, where it concludes.
