Tour Kloden Theatre and Kabelgata, and meet Scenekunstbruket
Performing arts in urban and artistic development.
Kloden Theatre is one of Norways' newest performing art institutions focusing on the young audience. The theatre is located in the middle Oslo's biggest city development project, Hovinbyen - which today is an industry area outside the city center. In only a few years it is predicted that Hovinbyen will house up to 100 000 people and offer the same total amount of jobs and vacancies.
How can a theatre institution be a resource in positive social change in a new neighborhood? How can artists and the young audience together create spaces to live and stay? How can art be a common third place for inhabitants with different social and cultural backgrounds in the area? The theatre has great ambitions and will be a unique place for artistic development with national and international projects in the field of performing arts for the young audience.
The tour will guide you the new main street of the area Kabelgata, where you will get to visit the current Pilot venue and get insight into the plans for the main theater house that will open in 2025. You will also get to meet an artist who works with creating performing arts in public space before we end up at Tårnet Kulturarena, one of Oslo's tallest buildings with an amazing view of the city, fjord and forests.
