About us

LUMOR is an acclaimed Stockholm based performing arts company recognized as one of Sweden's most interesting producers of new drama and contemporary theatre.

Founded and managed by playwright/director Paula Stenström Öhman and actor/director/playwright Oskar Thunberg, LUMOR works recurrently with a core group of renowned performing artists; actors, writers, directors, set designers, composers, sound and lightning designers - who has found each other artistically in LUMOR's productions and has developed an aesthetic and rapport that is unique within the Swedish performing arts society. "Lumor goes from strength to strength with performances in the borderland of social realism and dream. Dark topics are explored with an entertaining twist by direction breathing life into cold reality and brilliant actors." / The Swedish Association of Theatre Critic's Award

LUMOR mainly produces new writings, often based on documentary material, sprung from its own method. LUMOR collaborates with a wide network of esteemed theaters all over Sweden with recurring partners as The Stockholm City Theatre and The City Arts Centre and The Royal Dramatic Theatre.
