Stella Polaris is an independent theatre group situated in Stokke, in the south of Norway. The group was founded in 1985 by Merete Klingen and Per Spildra Borg, and celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2005. Our productions spans from small storytellings to big outdoor performances that explode in colours, music and energy. We are inspired by medieval theatre, combined with impulses of other cultures and times. Our aim is to burst open the borders between fantasy and reality, and give our audience an experience without the bounderies of time and space. The performances has been shown from Vardø in the far north of Norway, to Bethlehem and Ghaza in the Middle East. Every year Stella Polaris play about 150 performances for 80.000 people. Next to the artistic work Stella Polaris maintain a pedagogical work; Running two children groups and a youth group, and holding workshops.
