Special Artistic Achievement
Oslo International Theatre (Oslo Internasjonale Teater / OIT) started as a collaboration between Imploding Fictions and Teatersirkus, launched in 2009. Today OIT is run by Imploding Fictions. OIT translates contemporary international drama not been seen in Norway previously, into Norwegian, and produces rehearsed readings of these plays on a regular basis. Our performances are open to the public, but we also target the theatre industry especially, to promote the plays to Norwegian theatres and theatre companies.
