About Kilden

Kilden was founded in 1991 as Agder Teater and was designated a regional theater in January 1995. In 2012, Agder Teater moved from Kongens gate 2 to Silokaia and into the newly built Kilden performing arts centre, eventually taking the name Kilden .

Kilden has three full-time actors in addition to actors on fixed-term contracts and per-production contracts. We stage between 5 and 8 in-house productions and collaborative productions each year, involving regional, national, and international directors, actors, set designers, costume, lighting, and sound designers, composers, and performing arts groups. We place a special emphasis on strengthening the performing arts in Agder while also looking beyond our local region.

All sets, props, and costumes are built and sewn in-house; we have our own makeup department responsible for makeup and wigs, as well as lighting, sound, and video departments. Kilden a number of highly skilled craftsmen and professionals who make it possible to stage both small and large productions, both for our own venues and for tours in Agder.
