Malmö Impro

Performers

Listen, accept, “yes, and...” - these are the three cornerstones of the amateur theater association Malmö Impro.

For the audience, it is about experiencing a completely unpredictable form of entertainment. Nothing is prepared and everything is made up at the moment. For the last decade, Malmö Impro has been an association that has gathered improvisers, and today consists of six theater groups and about fifty members. They are a part of Malmö Amatörteaterforum and regularly arrange shows at their stages in central Malmö.
