Theater during the Bergman Week!

Demon Theater of Los Angeles presents Ingmar Bergman’s THE DAY ENDS EARLY- a new English Language production of Bergman’s 1947 play, translated and directed by Demon Theater co-founder and Gotland native Anna Lerbom. The play is given twice during the Bergman Week, Thursday June 30 and Saturday July 2, 7 pm at Laterna Magica near Kutens Bensin. Tickets cost 60 SEK and can be bought at the Bergman Center. Welcome!

THE DAY ENDS EARLY centers around a group of Midsummer revelers that have been visited by a mysterious woman that warns them of their impending deaths, and the necessity of preparing for their journey beyond. Is the ominous warning valid, or merely the delusional ramblings of an unstable woman? How will the possibility of its truth effect those who have been warned and their loved ones?

Demon Theater was conceived on Fårö during Bergman Week 2007, when founders Anna Lerbom and Michael Moon attended a screening of THE DEVIL’S EYE. They had been looking for inspiration for a play to produce, and after the screening decided not only to translate and adapt THE DEVIL’S EYE, but to dedicate the entire focus of the company to celebrating the works of Ingmar Bergman. THE DEVIL’S EYE opened at the Arena Stage in Hollywood, CA in 2010, and later that year Demon Theater presented a ten week series of staged readings of new English translations of Bergman works at Actors Art Theatre in Los Angeles. The pieces presented were: THE CITY, an early radio play; THE RITE; RACHEL AND THE CINEMA DOORMAN; WINTER LIGHT; and THE DAY ENDS EARLY.

Demon Theater is excited and honored to bring their production of THE DAY ENDS EARLY to Fårö for the Bergman Week 2011.

  • The Bergman Week programme is released!

    The Belgian filmmaking brothers Dardenne have become the modern fixtures of contemporary European cinema. Although their films are scarce in dialogue, their lyrical portrayals of people on the outskirts of society are unmistakably and uniquely dardennesque. It is with great pride and joy we welcome Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne as our guests at this year’s edition of the Bergman Week – indeed their first visit to Sweden. Book your tickets here!
