Kloden in the city center
Welcome to a week of outstanding performances and interesting conversations!
Those of us in the performing arts are concerned with what is happening here and now. We want to create experiences in community, experiences that entertain, surprise and provoke, and make us ask questions and talk together.
This year, the entire program has been developed for young people, and the performances are very different. Young people have different tastes and interests, just like adults, and we want to showcase some of the artistic diversity that exists in Norway.
During this year's festival, we will have two discussions for and with young people: one on racism and one on the climate crisis. These events are free and open to everyone. Kloden will contribute to providing young people with more platforms for good, respectful conversations in public.
Thank you to the Municipality of Oslo for its operational support and encouragement. We are lucky to live in a city that has its own strategy for the performing arts and young people. Kloden is helping to meet the goals in the strategy. And thanks to all of you who come with good input and ideas, and help us lift Kloden forward. Kloden need you!
ABOUT KLODEN
Kloden is becoming the place for the performing arts and young people – the place for all children and young people, and everyone who works with the performing arts. At Kloden you will experience that your unique experiences mean something to others. Performances and events will reflect the cultural and artistic richness that exists in Norway and on Kloden by the way.
In the fall of 2019, we will move our office to Kabelgata in Økern, and we will start construction of Kloden pilot right next door. Here there will be performances, professional events and production space for artists. We are very pleased to establish ourselves midway between Oslo city center and Groruddalen, and contribute to making Hovinbyen a good place to live and grow up!
Kloden The pilot should be in full swing until Kloden will be completed on the same street in a few years. With Kloden The audience, artists and professionals will get:
- a place with the best performances for children, youth and families all year round
