About the building

Teateret is located in the former Kristiansand Teater – a building that originally housed Agder Teater (now Kilden). After several years of dormancy, the building was revived as a vibrant cultural house in September 2018.

This is the third theater building on this site. The first was lost in the 1892 city fire, and the second was demolished in 1966. The current building was completed in 1976 and is a clear example of 1970s brutalist architecture, with raw concrete and distinct geometric shapes.

The facade is decorated with a monumental relief by Henrik Finne, and both the building and the art are now considered important architectural and cultural landmarks.
