Kloden in the city center receives support from the Municipality of Oslo

June 9, 2020

Many thanks to the Cultural Affairs Department of the Municipality of Oslo for their support. Kloden in the city center! As you know, the festival has been postponed until the fall due to the pandemic. We look forward to inviting you here to Kabelgata on the other side of the summer. 

This week should Kloden in the city center started, and we were supposed to organize our festival here in Kabelgata for the first time. As you know, it didn't work out that way. We were looking forward to being the host theater during The Hedda Festival for Viral with Unge Viken Teater , Psykt blod with Brageteatret_ung and Deilig er jorden with Teatret Vårt .

In addition, we had programmed several other performances: Lost and Found productions with the show Oh baby baby and Landing with Felt were to be shown at schools in our community. Biong/Schia would come here with INNI. Liavaag/Lindberg with Sea me and Det Andre Teatret with TREIG. In addition, we would collaborate with Nordic Black Theatre on screenings with students at Nordic Black Xpress. There would be artistic pop-ups both here and in the city center.

We were going to have a broad professional program, with a dramaturgical kitchen and kitchen table chats between young people about hate speech and the climate crisis. We also planned to organize professional events for young people and the performing arts field in collaboration with Kuben upper secondary school, Agenda X, Transcultural Arts Production - TRAP and Nordic Black Theatre. 

So this fall there will be a variant of Kloden in the city center here in Kabelgata, in Kloden Pilot! We are currently in full swing with carpentry and painting, and soon we will have lighting and sound equipment, which is a gift from the DNB Savings Bank Foundation .
