HĂĄkan Hardenberger
Trumpet player
04.03 – 30.03.2026
“I am a trumpet player working internationally as a soloist in the classical field, performing with symphony orchestras around the world.”
“I studied at the Paris Conservatory (CNSM) 1978-81 and will give a master class there and also take a close look at the succession of teachers that helped forming me. Thibaud, Foveau, Franquin, Arban. A straight line of only four names that takes us back to 1860!”
Aino Ihanainen
Circus artist
03.03 – 16.03.2026
“I’m Aino Ihanainen, a Finnish circus artist based in Stockholm. After practising circus my whole childhood I graduated from Lahti circus school in 2010 with handbalancing as my main discipline. Alongside my own artistic work and projects I have worked with companies like Cirkus Cirkör. In my work I am interested in visual storytelling and often combine circus with contrasting art forms such as textile art, looking to expand the idea of circus as well as find new venues and audiences for it.”
“In Paris I will work on my solo project Baby Bubble – or how I almost disappeared. It’s about motherhood, postnatal depression and longing to water. We are making both a contemporary circus performance and an accompanying photo exhibition. In Paris the focus is on the exhibition and I will work together with French photographer Solène Milcent.”

Klas Ă–stergren
Writer
03.03 – 30.03.2026
“I was born in Stockholm in 1955 but moved to the south och Sweden in the late 1980s. I made my litterary debut in 1975 and have since then published books, plays for screen and stage and articles in daily press as well as various translations from French, English and Norwegian.”
“I plan to write a story about the year 1980. An eventful year, in many ways. I spent the first half in Sweden and took part in the referendum about the future policy on nuclear power, and the rest of the year in France, where Mitterrand was about to become president. It was a time for hope and disappointments.”
