Triptych on Essence by Institutet is a massive attack on the traditional theatre's authoritarian effects of power.

Institutet managed the artistic achievement of filling houses with audiences from all of Sweden when they performed the scandalous The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire in Malmö. Theatre's conventional judges of taste, as well as critics and cultural bureaucrats, were provoked. The result was that the company was thrown out of its theatre building in the street of Norra Vallgatan.

The Malmö based company Institutet has, for its great production The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire among others, been criticised for being its aims impossible to understand. In Triptych on Essence the company met the criticism by declaring to want to stage the human's miserable illusion about life having a core, an inner character or an essence.
