With roots in score music and a strong connection to performing arts and dramaturgy, Scenatet often operates within an interdisciplinary field where staging and realities across time intersect and merge in innovative and performative formats. Scenatet was established in 2008 and is recognised as one of the most innovative, sound-driven, and scenic ensembles in Europe.
At the helm of this cross-disciplinary performance ensemble is founder, artistic director and stage director Anna Berit Asp Christensen, who, with Scenatet, strives to surprise and break as many habits and traditions as possible, creating artistic experiences and insights that confront and include audiences in new ways. With a genre-breaking approach and a dramaturgical mindset, she and Scenatet eagerly and exploratively focus on the creative artistic process.
Scenatet’s works can be both original productions and coproductions, often in the form of commissioned works for Scenatet. As a fundamental part of the ensemble’s work, symbioses, and cooperations across fields of expertise are emphasised. Based on an interdisciplinary foundation, Scenatet thus shapes the future of scenic music, ensuring epoch-making works that are unique, often conceptual, and site-specific.
Scenatet has achieved deep artistic insight and works with great integrity and dedication in its artistic strategies. Since its launch, Scenatet has developed an artistic original and international profile and an extensive touring activity, resulting in collaborations with some of the most talented and relevant composers, directors, choreographers, dancers, and musicians from home and abroad.
