Tenth time with Young Voices at Showbox
This year we take Young Voices a step further.
Everything we do not say – Unge Viken Teater
“Everything we do not say” weaves together three newly written stories about truth, lies and everything in between. The playwrights Amy Black Ndiaye, Julian Karenga and Melike Leblebicioglu write about three characters who are firmly planted in their respective dilemmas. It’s about belonging, but not feeling at home.
Hannah Felicia – Danskompaniet Spinn (SE)
Spinn’s new duet is about sisterhood and the relationship between two people. Or maybe there are only two sides of the same person we see?
Hege Haagenrud – Pet Parenting (working title)
The renowned choreographer Hege Haagenrud is finally back at Showbox. We look forward to showing her new piece.
2021: Showbox without live shows
We had been looking forward to seeing children, young people, families and delegate audiences in the hall at all 15 live performances that were to play at this year’s Showbox, but that was not the case. The 16th edition of Showbox will be, to put it mildly, very different than before.
See you next year
The showbox’ christmas tree is turned off, the poster wall is down and the last performance is played on the 15th edition of Showbox. Thanks to all grown and young audience members, partners from home and abroad, venues, companies, performers, technicians, volunteers, Young Voices, international delegates, all who have participated in professional events, mingles and parties.

VIRAL
What happens when YouTubers Arthur and Stian suddenly realize that they shouldn’t have posted that film of their teacher? The film spreads like a virus. It has gone viral.
Deep and personal about a father and a daughter
In this piece, Lindeberg grasps her own solitude in meeting her father.
One Norwegian – over 20 different characters!
After a successful run in Edinburgh, Joakim Gunby is taking his one man show ‘Why Even Bother’ to Showbox. In this dark, audio-heavy, one-man comedy, we get a glimpse into the world of ’MAIN CHARACTER’ and the everyday struggles of his ’normal’ life. This performance focus on what it’s like being a young foreigner in […]

Academic program at Showbox
During Showbox we offer you professional input throughout the week. It’s free for everyone, but since the spaces are limited, we want you to sign up by sending us an email. Most of the talks and seminars are in Norwegian, but the GREAT Art for Young Children is in English. And everything is free!
Minimal Animal is cancelled
Unfortunately, the performance Minimal Animal is cancelled. Purchased tickets will be refunded. Instead we will show the performance “At the bottom of the ocean”, more information to come.
Showbox Inclusive
Here you can find performances for the young audience that is not programmed by us, but as guests of Showbox you get a nice festival discount.

Claire Parsons Co with Grass to Showbox
The stage is covered with grass and half a car is about to enter. Two red-headed figures and a coffee craving neighbor appear. Here in the grass, anything can happen!
8 kilo of gold confetti
The heart explodes in confetti. 8 kg of gold in millions of pieces fly,
sticks to the skin. The gold is slippery. I’m losing my balance.
Monstrene kommer
What strange creatures the puppets of Duda Paiva are! They have funny heads. They have wings and tails but also arms and legs… what are they? Animals, humans, or both? And they look so sweet and touchable… but are they?
Save the date!
As you can see, this year’s Showbox date is set! Save the week from December 3rd to the 8th, and we’ll meet again in Oslo. We are already working on the program, looking forward to releasing the first performances in not too long. Tickets are being put up for sale after summer vacation.
See you again next year!
6 days, 23 different performances, 37 shows, 7 academic talks, 3 bus routes, 3 parties, 26 collaborators, 16 countries, 22 wonderful companies, 2 EU-projects, Young voices, TEENs, fantastic volunteers and technicians, national and international delegates and audience: goodbye for now, you are fantastic, see you next year!
