What if Theatre Staircases Could Talk?

This photo, taken on November 24, 2023, shows one of those candid backstage moments that really capture the life and rhythm of the theatre. It features actor and acrobat Petter Mario Skoglund, mid-costume change, in his personal, slightly chaotic quick-change corner in the lesser-used backstage staircase. It’s a hidden spot where the male ensemble and front-of-house staff can sometimes be found, but otherwise, it’s quiet—perfect for those high-speed, last-second wardrobe swaps that are part of a performer’s life.


Petter’s setup is more “organized chaos” than neat and tidy, which gives this little area so much personality. He’s getting into costume for the lively “banana number” in Act 2, a performance that never fails to bring the house down. Even though these staircases are mostly empty and out of sight, they’re essential, tucked-away spaces that keep the show rolling seamlessly. It’s funny how such a simple area, cluttered with costumes, props, and personal items, becomes a lifeline for actors like Petter during intense scenes.



For me, capturing this space brings back memories of every bustling, late-night performance, the camaraderie, and the whirlwind of energy backstage. It’s a reminder of those unseen, magical spaces that bring a production to life—the theatre’s heartbeat hidden in every corner.


 If you've ever wondered what happens backstage during a live performance, these spaces hold the answers—like the unscripted moments, the hurry of quick costume changes, and the team that makes it all happen.
