Bookshop

In the bookshop at Black Box teater, you will find a small selection of books, each of them related to the theater program.

The books have either been suggested by the artists, are related to their practice, or evolve thematically around the seasonal program and topical program.

Scenekunstklassikere (Performing arts classics) give an insight into how the performing arts have changed over the past forty years, and take a closer look at the works with anecdotes related to the rehearsal process and screenings.

The first Scenekunstklassikere book is written by Chris Erichsen about Grenland Friteater's Harde tak (2000) will be launched on 22 May, and can be ordered here.
