Children’s theatre from Scandinavia exsists "because in our society, cultural life has progressed from diversity of expression into conformist, mass-distributed, pop culture" - Robert Emil Berge, the leader of the group says. "I hope working with children, giving them confidence in their own competence, and making them see the value of their own artistic expression, can act as a counterweight to this tendency".

Aldebaran is a theatre group that was founded in 2005 in Skien, by Robert Emil Berge after having participated in the MA Acting course with The Song of the  Goat Theatre.

Aldebaran consists of thirteen children, almost all of them girls. They are divided into a younger group of six and an older group of seven. Six of them are coming to the festival. Unlike some other children’s groups in Norway, we don’t select kids based on their talent, experience or other criteria - being part of a minority or some government program for example.

Therefore the children are fairly normal, Norwegian kids.

Individual performance of the group will take place on CIRCUS TENT/ 22.06.2012/ 17:00/free entry ul. Koreańska 1a, Wroclaw BROCHOW
