A passage design connecting Kulturhuset with Stadsteatern's Main Stage in Stockholm. At the end of the escalator, theatre-goers pass a large Urn before entering the auditorium. Before the doors open, the audience stands among Sivert's pillars and an abstract mythical sculpture.
An indoor passage connecting Kulturhuset with Stadsteatern's Main Stage. The project represents another public art installation for the city created by Sivert during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The passage features sculptural and architectural interventions designed to enrich the transitional space between these two significant cultural venues.
At the end of the escalator, a red-painted urn stands next to a window.
In the audience entrance, stands a stylized body figure, "Yorick", with a green cranium, Sivert's profile, and a golden ear.
Yorick is best known as the deceased court jester whose skull Prince Hamlet holds up in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet.
The quote "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio" is one of theatre history's most iconic and is often used to reflect on mortality and the transience of life.
