Cover of Thalia 1, 1910.

Thalia: tidning för scenisk konst och litteratur [magazine for scenic art and music] was a weekly magazine published in 1910-13 in Stockholm. Edited by the journalist Gustav Åsbrink, the dramatist and theatre director Gustaf Collijn, and the composer Andreas Hallén.

Through Collijn contacts were made with young open-minded contributors both in Sweden and abroad, including Leon Feuchtwanger, Sven Lange and Max Reinhardt. In 1912, Thalia showcased Italian futurism and published one of Marinetti’s manifestos. the following year, an interview with Nijinski was published under the headline “Futurist dance art”. even though scenic art was the main focus of Thalia, young Swedish writers looked upon it as an important magazine for avant-garde ideas.
