In the early 1980s, the Orionteatern theater took over an old workshop. The aim was to preserve as much as possible of the industrial ambiance. The workshop interior dated back to 1929, while opening the space up for theatrical performances. The result is a unique and exquisite theater space that suits the experimental repertoire of dance and circus perfectly. Linus Tunström frequently directs here.
