Want to bring your family or friends to a performance during Showbox? You can! We have several performances for both children and youth in the afternoon and evening, and single tickets are on sale.


Riksteatret – Hundreds of children in wild fight

In collaboration with the National Theatre of Norway, we are showing the critically acclaimed performance Hundrevis af barn i vill kamp , by Eirik Fauske. "Hundrevis af barn i vill kamp" is theatre seen through the eyes of children. The play puts into words many of the big questions children ask adults. Maybe it will be easier for them to share their thoughts after seeing the performance?

Wild play and intense effects in probably the most exciting children's show of the fall” – NRK

Forces – Mannès | Turin | Lemaître (BE)

FORCES is a futuristic and immersive ritual – an intense experience where three dancers draw us into a universe of forces: earthly, technological and human. As cyborg warrior shamans, they transform their bodies into instruments for something greater – a collective and liberating metamorphosis.

Plexus Polaire – Trust me for a while

Three puppeteers try to find out what really happened when one of them inherited an old ventriloquist doll – with a strange and disturbing history. The show is like a nightmare you don't want to wake up from: funny, uncomfortable and hypnotic at the same time. Here you meet a failed magician, a jealous doll with a knife – and the question of who is really pulling the strings: the man or the doll?

Falling in love can be one of the best things ever! Falling in love can also be the worst thing that ever happened! Falling in love is usually a roller coaster of emotions.
