The poetry performance “Ut genom väggen!” (Out Through the Wall!) opens a door into the world of poet and actor Ragnar Bengtström.
With sharp humor and a tender presence, his poems give voice to the beautiful, the sorrowful, and the absurd in life. Bengtström paints vivid images and scenes of painful memories, longing and hope, of nature as a life force, and of a deep love for poetry and theatre.
In Ut genom väggen! , words and music are interwoven. To the sound of Elina Mattila’s cello, Ragnar Bengtström performs his poems together with reciter Sanna Huldén , who also serves as editor of the texts. The performance is directed by Mikaela Hasán .
Ut genom väggen! is a collaboration between DuvTeatern and Wegelius Kammarstråkar. The performance premiered at Luckan in Helsinki on 28th of February 2026.
