Performances included in the 2027 Theater Pass
NEW NORWAY Petter Width Kristiansen
A society can change without us even noticing. A struggle can be brutal even if it takes place quietly. In 20 years, Norway became a different country.
*Nyt Norge* is a performance that examines social dumping, human trafficking, and labor-related crime in contemporary Norway. The performance asks which bodies are worthy of compassion. Who is granted value, protection, and dignity, and who remains expendable?
In his production *Kill Devil*, performing artist Petter Width Kristiansen explored Norway’s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade in the 18th century. *Kill Devil* received rave reviews, ran to a sold-out run, and was awarded the Critics’ Prize in 2025. This time, we delve into the hidden history of the new Norway.
The poems and text in the performance were written by one of the country’s leading investigative journalists, Gunnar Thorenfeldt, who for more than 20 years has written over a thousand articles on social dumping and human trafficking in *Dagbladet*, *Klassekampen*, and *Aftenposten*.
The future is already here. But it arrives sooner for some than for others.
THE AIRSPACE OVER UKRAINE by Geir Gulliksen
February 24, 2022. Russia invades Ukraine. All across Norway, people are watching. At least one of them is kneeling in front of the TV screen. It’s Hilding. Ukrainian Maksim Iovenko is shot by Russian soldiers. He had his hands in the air and only wanted to save his family from the war. Something happens to Hilding. He identifies with Maksim. Hilding decides to drive to Ukraine to help refugees.
*The Airspace Over Ukraine* was written by Geir Gulliksen, first as a play and then as a novel. Gulliksen is one of Norway’s leading authors and has written, among other works, *The Story of a Marriage* (2015) and *Be Kind Again* (2020).
THE TEMPEST by William Shakespeare
"The Tempest " is William Shakespeare's last play and is considered his farewell to the theater.
An unexpected ship on the horizon gives Prospero the opportunity to settle scores with the past. From his deserted island, where he has lived in exile, he uses his magical powers to whip up a storm. The ship is wrecked, and he finally gets the chance to reclaim what he believes is his.
*The Storm* will be the first production by Kilden Diligens, directed by the program’s own director, Anna Sharko. Together with two actors, two musicians, and a singer, she will explore power dynamics that can rob people of their worth, credibility, and freedom.
LOVE LETTER by A. R. Gurney
An Unfulfilled Love Story—Told Through Letters and Notes
"Love Letters" is a story about two people who were truly meant for each other, but whose lives took them down different paths. The story is told exclusively through letters, postcards, and notes that the two characters have sent to each other over the years. The actors, Janne Formoe and Henrik Rafaelsen, read the letters aloud to each other and to the audience.
In an age of fleeting messages sent digitally via social media, a letter represents something lasting, nostalgic, and tangible. Perhaps it's time to start sending letters again?
THE PRESIDENTS by Werner Schwab
After a sold-out run, additional performances, and the Critics' Award in 2026, you can once again join Erna, Grete, and Mariedl around the kitchen table.
Here, they take us on a journey from life’s disappointments and bitterness to their dreams, longings, and fantasies. Seated around the kitchen table, they unfold the entire world before us, on a hellish journey through European culture—from religion to politics, from the history of ideas to the grotesque body. Here, humanity’s escape from a dirty and unbearable reality into a beautiful, dreamlike fantasy world is revealed through burlesque and humorous language, and an immense love for the little person.
Kilden Theater is once again staging Schwab's explosive 1991 debut play in a translation by the poet Øyvind Berg, directed by Marie Nikazm.
Nikazm won the 2025/2026 Critics' Award for Theater for its direction of *Presientinnene*.
LITTLE EYOLF by Henrik Ibsen
“I can’t go around here and just be Eyolf’s mother. Just that. Nothing more. I won’t, I tell you! I can’t! […] No, that sort of thing isn’t for me. I was meant to be the child’s mother. But not to be a mother to him. You’ll have to accept me as I am, Alfred.”
Rita Allmers in Act I, Little Eyolf
Kilden Theater’s main production this fall is perhaps Ibsen’s most beautiful and most painful play, and it tackles one of our very last taboos: a mother’s admission that her pregnancy was unplanned.
In the play, we meet the married couple Rita and Alfred and their son Eyolf. Eyolf has a disability caused by his parents’ carelessness when he was an infant. Shame and guilt are eating away at the parents, but they still cannot bring themselves to look at their own child. Then a real catastrophe strikes.
Director Mari Kjeldstadli is back, staging her third Ibsen production at Kilden following the great success of *Rosmersholm* in 2022 and *Ghosts* in 2025. Kjeldstadli says of the play: “For me, human responsibility is central—the question of whether we can afford to go through life living only for ourselves. What do we lose in our relationships with others, and what do we lose as a society?”
THE PORTRAIT OF DORIAN GRAY by Oscar Wilde
“There are no moral or immoral books. Books are either well-written or poorly written. That is all.”
Oscar Wilde in the preface to *The Picture of Dorian Gray*
The young and handsome Dorian Gray has a portrait painted of himself. Like Narcissus, he falls in love with his own reflection and longs for eternal youth and beauty. His wish comes true, and Dorian Gray throws himself into a life of unbridled indulgence without a thought for the consequences. The portrait ages, and as the years pass, the image takes on increasingly depraved and gruesome features—revealing his true nature.
When the book was published in 1890, it was considered immoral. In a Victorian era characterized by pretense and strict social norms, Oscar Wilde unscrupulously portrayed human vanity and the darkest depths of the human soul
THE WOMAN AND THE BLACK BIRD by Nini Roll Anker
*The Woman and the Black Bird* is a poignant portrait of a woman written by Nini Roll Anker during World War II. The novel is a desperate cry about the horrors of war as seen through a mother’s eyes.
We meet Bett. She is serving a prison sentence for helping one of her twin sons desert. Her son Otto is sent to the front when the war breaks out, but after a few months he returns home; he doesn't want to kill anymore.
Nini Roll Anker's masterpiece is timeless in its exploration of the nature of war and almost unbearable in its portrayal of mothers who helplessly try to protect their children from the brutality.
The novel has been adapted for the stage by playwright Hannah Wozene Kvam. It is a one-woman show, starring actress and singer Nosizwe Baqwa in the role of Bett.
THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE by C. S. Lewis
At last, Kilden opens the door to the magical world of Narnia.
The siblings Peter, Edmund, Susan, and Lucy discover a wardrobe containing a portal to the mysterious land of Narnia. In Narnia, there is hope that Aslan, the Lion King, has returned to defeat the White Witch. This is a story about the battle between good and evil, told using all the magical elements of theater.
The Chronicles of Narnia was written shortly after World War II. The author, C.S. Lewis, drew inspiration from real events. Lewis himself served as an officer during World War I, and during World War II, he opened his home to children evacuated from London.
