Eli Frankel

Eli Frankel is a Swedish performance artist, director, dramaturge, composer, and educator whose practice moves fluidly between theatre, music, performance, pedagogy, and artistic research. With over 20 years of experience in the field, he has worked across institutions and the independent scene in Sweden, Denmark, and Germany, including Dramaten, Uppsala Stadsteater, Göteborg Stadsteater, Folkteatern, Dansens Hus, and Volksbühne Berlin. His transdisciplinary approach is informed by a belief in the performing arts as a transformative force, one that not only reflects society but actively shapes it. Eli is an active member of several art collectives such as RadioArt, Alice Collective for Sound & Stage and PLX, where he curates festivals, creates new music-theatre works, and explores the intersection of performance, sound, and politics. He is currently developing new stage productions: The Choir (PLX), The Banality of Evil and Confessions (RadioArt).
