Verdensteatret is a hybrid performance art company based in Norway.
In 1986 Lisbeth Bodd and Asle Nilsen founded Verdensteatret, a collective of artists from different fields who collaborate to stage pieces which are a combination of performance, installation, shadow-play, sound and animation.[1] Using mostly found and repurposed material (they use the word "flotsam") like driftwood, wire, bicycle parts and bones, they use both computers and live actors to create audiovisual concerts.[2] For example, their 2008 show Louder combined robotics, videography, music and shadow play to create a dreamlike journey through the Mekong Delta.[3] For "Concert for Greenland" in 2006, the group won a Bessie Award in the category Performance, Installation, and New Media. The official jury statement for this award read "for building exquisite links between seemingly incompatible technologies and materials-robots, video, piano, driftwood, and computers; for sharing their succinctly visualized yet beautifully ambivalent relationship to hidden landscapes; and for offering a poetically and emotionally evocative soundscape of a far-off place...."[4]. "Concert for Greenland" was located at P.S. 122 (Performance Space 122) in New York.
