Iggy Malmborg is a performance artist and actor based in Malmö. Although trained in traditional acting, his works span a wide range of aesthetics and styles – both in solo and collaborative work. Iggy Malmborg’s greatest artistic interest is to use performance as a model on which the discourse of the plays can be applied directly. Using strategies comparable to minimalism, he sheds light on the politics of theatre, as a hierarchical machine with (unconscious) patterns of inclusion and exclusion. Over the years, Malmborg’s works have gained international recognition and have been hailed for presenting a complex intellectual discourse in a concrete way, filled with humor and warmth.
Malmborg's solo performance SATAN is currently on tour. Performing dates and venues are announced continuously.
SATAN is the story of a hero who tries to become a villain, but fails. Following along on a bumpy road from a deeply Christian family in the Swedish countryside, through friendships, sins, and homelessness, to theatre stages and venues all around Europe. An homage to the ancient form of oral storytelling that brings the audience to far away places.
"Malmborg’s performance is outstanding. Every hesitation, every gesture seems as if the memory spontaneously brings back feelings that are difficult to control.” Dimo Rieß, Leipziger Volkszeitung
