Cornerteateret

About

Cornerteateret is one of Bergen’s most vibrant contemporary theatre spaces, known for its openness to experimentation and its strong support for emerging voices. Located in Møhlenpris, the former industrial building has been transformed into a creative hub where independent companies, young performers, and cross‑disciplinary artists develop new work. Its flexible stages and informal atmosphere encourage bold ideas, from innovative children’s theatre to boundary‑pushing performances that blend drama, music, and movement. Cornerteateret also plays a key role in nurturing the city’s cultural ecosystem, offering rehearsal rooms, residencies, and a platform for collaboration across artistic fields. With its community‑minded spirit and commitment to fresh perspectives, it has become a cornerstone of Bergen’s evolving performing arts scene, inviting audiences to experience theatre that is immediate, inventive, and closely connected to the city’s creative energy.

Location

Cornerteateret is located at Kong Christian Frederiks plass 4 in the Møhlenpris area of Bergen, on Marineholmen, a short distance from the city centre. Nearby, it is well placed for visitors who want to combine a theatre visit with some of Bergen’s most popular attractions. The area is close to the Bergen Aquarium and the waterfront around Solheimsviken and Puddefjorden, while the city centre is still within easy reach on foot or by a short bus ride. From here, you can also head toward the Fish Market, Bryggen, KODE art museums, and Byparken, all of which are among Bergen’s best-known sights. The location also works well for exploring the local harbour atmosphere, cafés, and cultural venues around Møhlenpris and the western side of the centre.
