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.

Alt av scenografi, rekvisitter og kostymer bygges og sys på huset. Vi har en egen maskavdeling med ansvar for sminke og parykker, samt lys-, lyd- og bildeavdeling. Kilden huser en rekke svært dyktige håndverkere og fagfolk som gjør det mulig å produsere både små og store produksjoner, både for våre saler og for turné på Agder.
