Live Streaming

Odin Teatret Live Streaming was born in 2014 for Odin Teatret's 50th anniversary, during which an event was organised to thank Odin's Secret People - friends and collaborators who had supported the theatre throughout its existence. In December 2013, Odin Teatret sent an invitation to the more than 10.000 people on its mailing list. About 850 people responded positively, but Odin Teatret only had place for a maximum of 300 people. So already many months before the event, Odin Teatret was forced to say that no more guests could be accepted. To maintain the connection with those of Odins' friends all over the world who would not be present, we created an Odin Teatret WebTV channel (ODIN TEATRET LIVE STREAMING), with the intention of making a live-streaming recording of "Clear Enigma", the performance done in occasion of the 50th anniversary to be presented only once on the day of commemoration.

Odin Teatret Live Streaming made its first experimental test during the symposium "Theatre as a Laboratory for Community Interaction" held at Odin Teatret in May 2014.

After expanding OTF's technology and equipment, Chiara Crupi and Claudio Coloberti gathered a troupe of young university and film students, to make available online an unrepeatable theatre event while it was taking place: "Clear Enigma". Despite the artisan dimensions of the experiment - far from technical perfection and aware of the impossibility of giving a faithful image of the performance - numerous virtual spectators followed us both during and after the event itself. Today, the link counts over 5000 views. For OTF, this has meant contributing to unite Odin Teatret's "family" through a channel of communication that overcomes geographical barriers so that many people could also partly share the atmosphere of the feast. We have received many enthusiastic and generous acknowledgements. Encouraged by this response, we continue to develop this initiative in the same spirit and other live streaming have followed since.

The streaming events are available for vision through the following links:

Odin Teatret Live Streaming started in 2014 for Odin Teatret's 50^th anniversary, during which an event was organised to thank Odin Teatret's "secret people" - friends and collaborators - who had supported the theatre throughout its existence.

In December 2013 Odin Teatret sent an invitation to the more than 10.000 people on its mailing list. About 850 people responded positively, but Odin Teatret only had places for a maximum of 300 and was obliged to say no to the others. To maintain contact with Odin's friends all over the world who would not be present, Odin Teatret Web TV channel (ODIN TEATRET LIVE STREAMING) was created with the intention of making a live streaming recording of Clear Enigma, the performance prepared especially to be shown only once on the day of the 50^th anniversary.

Odin Teatret Live Streaming made its first experimental test during the symposium "Theatre as a Laboratory for Community Interaction" held at Odin Teatret in May 2014.

Chiara Crupi and Claudio Coloberti, with the IT support of Peter Egestad, gathered a troupe of young university and film students, to make available online an unrepeatable theatre event while it was taking place: Clear Enigma. Despite the artisanal standard of the experiment, numerous virtual spectators followed the streaming both during and after the event itself. For OTF, this has meant contributing to unite Odin Teatret's "family" through a channel of communication that overcomes geographical barriers so that many people could also share the atmosphere of the celebration. We have received many positive and generous acknowledgements. Encouraged by this response, OTF continues to develop this initiative in the same spirit. Many other live streamings have followed. Today, the link to the video of the performance Clear Enigma counts over 5000 views.
