A direct translation that captures the crassness is difficult while maintaining a formal tone. The original title is inherently informal and provocative. Here are some options, ranging from more literal to more euphemistic and formal:

• De exponerar sina sexuella eskapader. (They expose their sexual escapades.) – This is probably the closest literal translation while remaining somewhat formal. "Eskapader" carries a slightly negative connotation.

• De offentliggör sina intima relationer. (They publicize their intimate relationships.) – This is more formal and less explicit.

• De skyltar med sin sexualitet. (They flaunt their sexuality.) – This captures the showing-off aspect.

• De gör sina sexuella erfarenheter till offentlig konsumtion. (They make their sexual experiences available for public consumption.) – This is a more formal and critical phrasing.

Choosing the best option depends on the specific context and desired level of formality. If you want to preserve the provocative nature of the original title while still using a formal tone, the first or third option might be suitable. If you prioritize formality and want to avoid explicit language, the second or fourth option would be better.

Here are a few options for a more formal Swedish title, keeping the "Dune" reference:

• Nyanser av Arrakis i Dramatens depressionsskildring: This translates to "Shades of Arrakis in Dramaten’s portrayal of the depression." It’s more formal and uses a literary allusion rather than a direct comparison.

• En anstrykning av Arrakis i Dramatens iscensättning av den stora depressionen: This translates to "A touch of Arrakis in Dramaten’s staging of the Great Depression." This is also quite formal and emphasizes the theatrical aspect.

• Ekon av Arrakis i Dramatens tolkning av depressionens tid: This translates to "Echoes of Arrakis in Dramaten’s interpretation of the time of depression." This option uses evocative language and focuses on the historical period.

• Arrakislika stämningar i Dramatens gestaltning av den stora depressionen: This one is a bit more direct but still formal. It translates to "Arrakis-like atmospheres in Dramaten’s depiction of the Great Depression."

It’s difficult to say which is best without seeing the actual performance. If the connection to Dune is visual and atmospheric, the first three options are stronger. If the connection relates to specific themes (e.g., resource scarcity, political intrigue), then the last option might be more suitable.
