Malm10.09.2026 - 19.09.2026Eplene i Messehagen
The Musical Theatre Production Eplene i Messehagen (The Apples in the Messe Garden) From internal songs shared among friends to performing for thousands of enthusiastic Trønders, this group has experienced more than they ever imagined. With hits like Panzerfylla, Læven, and Apparatet, the band brings an evening of energy and atmosphere! But wait – that’s a different event. Let’s focus on the musical theatre piece: Eplene i Messehagen is a musical theatre production that explores the tensions between mine workers and management, broken dreams, class divides – all wrapped in humour and powerful music. Have you seen it? Heard the music? Been to Malm? Now’s your chance to experience Eplene i Messehagen – whether for the first time or once again. Since its premiere in 2008, this acclaimed production has been seen and heard by over 35,000 audience members. The mining history of Malm is told through themes of class, love, and hope – with a generous dose of humour and unforgettable music. Written and composed by Rasmus Rohde, this is musical theatre of a rare kind. The Title The name refers to the apple trees in the garden of Messa, the director’s residence at Fosdalens Bergverk, which operated the mine in Malm from 1906. No workers were allowed inside until 1980, though local youth often snuck into the garden to steal apples. Rasmus Rohde Rasmus Rohde wrote both the lyrics and music for Eplene i Messehagen. The script is inspired by company newsletters from Fosdalens Bergverk and interviews with mine workers and locals from Malm. The story is not a documentary, but a fictional narrative based on events that could have happened. Rasmus is a musician, lyricist, composer, and playwright. He studied music and history and is a trained screenwriter from the Norwegian Film School in Lillehammer. Messehagen Messehagen is the garden of Messa, a grand villa in Malm that served for many years as the residence of the director of Fosdalens Bergverk. Built in the 1930s, the villa overlooks the Beitstadfjord. The director lived there until 1946, and in the early 1950s, the house was converted into a company residence. The large property included fruit trees and a private tennis court. Each year, company officials were invited to Christmas gatherings at Messa, but workers were never allowed inside. It wasn’t until the 1980s that ordinary people saw the interior. Messa was located on the east side of the Ressem River, across from Ressemlia, where company officials lived in elegant detached houses – nicknamed “Latterlia” (Laughter Hill). On the other side of the river, workers lived in Malmlia, an area known locally as “Korea.” While housewives in Korea shopped at local stores, some of the officials’ wives were chauffeured to Trondheim for exclusive shopping trips. Around 1960, the director paid about NOK 80 in rent for the villa and earned NOK 15,000 more annually than the Prime Minister. A Community Shaped by Mining Mining deeply influenced the local community. In the 1950s, record numbers were employed at the mine, bringing strong tax revenues to the village. A modern school and new community centre were built, and cultural life flourished. At the mine’s 50th anniversary in 1956, a festive dinner for 1,400 people was held in a giant tent at the school grounds, with Norwegian entertainment legend Leif Juster among the performers. Today, the director’s villa is privately owned. No one lives there, but it is occasionally used for events. Presented by: Gruveteater

Addison Johnson (US) North Carolina /Nashville-Tennessee Look forward to an evening of honest country. We've had Addison spin a few times now on the player, and the songs just get better and better. Check it out wherever you listen to music. The album "Dangerous Men" and the single from last year "Maybe I'm lonely too" are recommended. Born and raised in the home of the "Moonshiners" - the Blueridge Mountains in North Carolina - Addison's Songs bring an honest and society reflecting style of Country Music with it. Different than other musicians' careers, Addison was not born within a musicians' family. Already at a young age, he decided by himself to make a living out of Country Music – moved to Nashville alone with only a couple of bucks in his pocket. After a very rough start and an unmatched work-ethic, he managed to get touring the USA from east to west coast every year since. The hard life of a young touring artist formed not only his down to earth character, but also his view of real life in today's society. His outstanding talent of songwriting is nowadays well respected within the industry and so is not only his own music growing, but also his international fanbase! The concert is a mix of sitting and standing, if you want to sit you should get there early. No seat reservations!

Book nowTrondheim10.06.2026 - 11.06.2026Psychedelic Cave by Mia Habib Productions
Psychedelic Cave is a choreographic and electroacoustic work in a darkened room, sometimes with women. Choreographer and dancer Mia Habib explores the cave as a place of refuge, a space for community and magical rituals. The work stems from stays in actual caves and encounters with prehistoric cave paintings, including in Solsemhula, Skåren-Monsenhula, Refsvikhula, Chauvet, Lascaux and Altamira. It is here, in the darkness among stone and earth, that the work has found its language. The audience is invited into the scenic cave, to a world where darkness contains demon-like physicality and sound. Here taboos cease; the ritual becomes a portal to the inner demon – a promise of transformation and a glimpse into the darkness of darkness. The performance was developed by the artistic team in collaboration with archaeologist Hein Bjerck, and has also been inspired by figures and objects from the Stone Age, such as the Brummeren from Tuv and the Woman from Willendorf. Location: Hall 1 Duration: approx. 90 min Language: English ❤️Pay what you can❤️ MEET THE ARTIST! An artist talk with performers from the company will be held immediately after the performance on June 10th, in the hall. The moderator of the talk will be announced closer to the performance. The talk is free, and lasts a maximum of 60 minutes. more info, tickets and content warning can be found at https://rosendalteater.no/program/psychedelic-cave

Book nowTrondheim28.02.2026 - 20.06.2026wheel trowing for beginners
Duration: 12 hours spread over 2 days Saturday: 10 AM – 5 PM (7 PM)** Sunday: 10 AM – 3 PM (5 PM)** Course fee: NOK 3800 (adult) / NOK 3300 (senior/student) The beginner’s wheel-throwing weekend offers time and space to learn basic throwing techniques over the course of a weekend. This course is suitable for anyone interested in trying out the pottery wheel—whether or not you have prior experience with clay. It’s designed for adults*, and can be adapted to meet individual needs. We work in small groups of around 9 participants. The course is primarily held in Norwegian, but English or German are also no problem. The course is led by Franziska and runs from 10 AM to 5 PM (7 PM)** on Saturday, and from 10 AM to 3 PM (5 PM)** on Sunday. The main focus is on mastering the individual steps of the wheel-throwing process. We learn by observing—understanding with the head, but mastering with the hands. This process requires concentration and patience, while offering a unique sense of presence as your body learns to handle the clay on the wheel. We progress in small steps and grow fond of each little bowl we create. The course provides a solid foundation to continue working on your own at the wheel—either in our open studio or at home. On Saturday, we work on preparing the clay, centering it on the wheel, and pulling up walls to create cups and bowls. Sunday is mostly dedicated to trimming, where we remove excess clay from the pieces made the day before and shape them to a nice form and finish. It's also possible to learn how to make and attach handles to cups on this day. After drying, the pieces will be fired in the kiln. At the end of the course, we’ll agree on how the items should be glazed. If you wish to do the glazing yourself, you can sign up for a glazing course***. Finished pieces can be picked up about 3 weeks later. * It's possible to register a youth (age 16+) at the student price if they are accompanied by a participating adult. ** After the official course hours, participants have the option to continue working independently for up to two extra hours. *** Please note that there must be at least three weeks between the two courses to allow the pottery to dry and be fired before glazing. You can still sign up for a glazing course after completing the wheel-throwing course—you don’t need to book it right away and can choose a date that suits you later. The course fee includes: 16-hour wheel-throwing course, incl. materials 3-hour glazing course, incl. materials 1 free trial month in our Open Studio, incl. 5 kg of clay
