WHAT: A speculative documentary theater piece about the labor market system and humanity

We believe you’re a curious, flexible, and responsive person who wants to make money quickly and easily. You enjoy being part of a team, but you’re also comfortable making independent decisions. You’re willing to take on a small task if the compensation for your effort is high enough. Does this sound like you or someone you know? At Svenska Teatern’s Nicken stage, we’ll be hiring one or more people on 15 occasions who can earn back the ticket price – and more. Will it be you? We look forward to your application!

BLAUE FRAU IS HIRING is an investigative performance about the structure and organization of the job market in Finland. In the form of a speculative documentary and through the use of case studies, we bring to life the complex system that is everyday reality for over 340 000 job seekers in our country (March 2026). Blaue Frau is hiring is an enlightening, entertaining, and thought-provoking theater experience that raises questions about wage labor – what is the point of it? What would life be like without it? And what happens to those who don’t get the chance to do it?
