The Gourmet Restaurant "Experience"
The gourmet restaurant Experience – A Journey Through Taste and History At Bjerkem Farm in Henning, Steinkjer, you’ll find Experience – a unique gourmet restaurant offering an unforgettable evening of organic, locally sourced cuisine. The restaurant is housed in a former barn, beautifully transformed into a rustic yet atmospheric dining space and bar. Here, you will enjoy a 16-course tasting menu that evolves with the seasons, paired with carefully selected wine packages or non-alcoholic juice and cocktail pairings. Behind this concept is owner and head chef Kim Tore Sjøbakk, who brings invaluable experience from Michelin-starred restaurants in London. At Experience, you don’t just enjoy a meal – you embark on an experience for life. From the moment you arrive, you are transported 150 years back in time, to an era when food was grown and harvested for personal consumption. Kim’s philosophy is simple: the process of sourcing and gathering ingredients is just as important as the cooking itself – and deserves its own story. His goal is to give guests the true meaning of the word “experience”. Local Ingredients – The Flavours of Trøndelag Kim Tore uses organic and wild produce from Trøndelag, working closely with local farmers, fishermen, foragers, and hunters – as well as growing and foraging much himself. This ensures dishes of the highest quality, showcasing the very best the region has to offer. Some of our trusted suppliers include: Gullimunn – heritage grains such as Emmer wheat and Sweet Rye, grown on the farm and nearby. Trøndersopp – organic and wild mushrooms from Leksdal, just 15 minutes away. Bjørka – honey from Marie Vorum, who also helps source other local products. Kim personally handpicks many of the ingredients that later become exquisite dishes. An Unforgettable Culinary Evening We serve a 16-course tasting menu, carefully designed to provide a wealth of flavours without leaving you overfull. You can also choose from a range of drink pairings – with or without alcohol – tailored to complement each menu. The bar opens as guests arrive, and service begins at 7:30 PM, with dishes thoughtfully paced throughout the evening. Reservations Experience welcomes guests Wednesday - Saturday. Book your table her, via email: [email protected] or call: +47 94 08 13 99. Other days are available for private group bookings and larger groups by arrangement. Welcome to Experience – where every detail tells a story!

Avoid Aas - Antiquarian
Unnveig Aas has sung her way into the hearts of many with her striking voice and distinctive musical expression in recent years. With almost four albums released, one of which (Young Heart, 2019) was nominated for Spellemann in the Country category, we can say that Unnveig is well established as a musician in this country! Her latest EP "Amused By A Muse" came out in the fall of 2025, and has received praise and a list spot on NRK P3 Musikk. More music is coming in 2026! Aas has played concerts all over Norway, as well as Germany, Sweden and Denmark. She is known for making the audience dance, cry and laugh. The music is full of contrasts. It is quiet and contained, but also at times catchy and danceable. With inspiration from country, pop, rock and folk, she experiments with open guitar tunings and synths and creates a sound that stands out in the Norwegian music scene. Aas is also an author and has published two poetry collections. Her lyrics are poetic and painful and are performed in a heartfelt way.

BJØRN OG BJARTE, DEN TØFFE OG DEN SARTE
Two of Norway's most beloved artists, Bjørn Eidsvåg and Bjarte Tjøstheim, are teaming up for a very special tour. With a unique combination of warmth, humor and musical quality, they invite the audience to an evening filled with laughter, wonder and reflection. Eidsvåg and Tjøstheim have known each other for several years. They have joked and joked together in Radioreseptjonen, and Bjørn has guested on Bjarte's TV series Presten, where he played a slightly more inflated version of himself. Now they are combining their strengths, wit and the little wisdom they have in a joint performance. There will be jokes and banter, but they will also make an attempt to reflect on small and large questions, they are good at wondering. Both have a church background, both have known faith and doubt, and both know what it is like to fall short. They are both tough and sensitive, and not least good at passing merciless judgments on themselves. At the same time, they are looking for grace, for someone who can tolerate them as they are. The audience can expect a performance filled with laughter, music and reflection. Eidsvåg's eminent band will provide musical weight, and Tjøstheim will also contribute with his rhythmic skills. Whether it will be edifying and soul-stirring, is unknown. But it will definitely not be boring, until the performance is too short.

Turnéteateret i Trøndelag: "Home" // Trondheim
As soon as someone says "Heimert", memories are awakened. Secrets. Unity. Curiosity. Illicit fun - and a taste of something you perhaps shouldn't have done. For some, heimert is the taste of freedom, community and laughter. For others: shame, silence and tears. Ane Aass and Rasmus Rohde have delved into the history of home-brewed spirits and distilled a performance about the human urge for intoxication and drunkenness. In the play, we meet a father, a son and a young domestic helper. They meet in a house where the coffee cup is never empty, and memories are in the walls. We meet the one who left, the one who stayed and the one who still believes that life can be measured in pulse and points. What we drink, when we drink - and what we put on the system while doing so - says a lot about who we are and where we come from. Music is also a fundamental element in the performance and takes us from village festivals to hangovers, from Arnsteins to Carina Dahl. Welcome to a performance that smells of freshly brewed coffee and home-made brandy - and that tastes of both laughter and hurt. EARLYBIRD OFFER! Buy tickets at earlybird prices now🥳

Klassikerforedrag - Simone de Beauvoir: Det annet kjønn
29. april inviterer Litteraturhuset til foredrag om Simone de Beauvoirs feministiske hovedverk Det annet kjønn. «Hunkjønnet er hunkjønn på grunn av en viss mangel på egenskaper,» skrev Aristoteles. Fra Platon, via Thomas Aquinas og til mer moderne tenkere som Hegel, er forestillingen om kvinnen som «Den andre» blitt ført videre. Er kvinnen «annethet»? Er hun en gåte? Simone de Beauvoir tilbakeviser slike mytiske forestillinger ved å ta for seg kvinner og kvinnelighet i myter, historie, filosofi og litteratur, husarbeid, forelskelse, ekteskap, barn og visjoner om fremtidig frihet. For Simone de Beauvoir er menneskelig frihet knyttet til transcendens; livet får mening gjennom handling. Som artsvesen er enhver kvinne og mann både immanent og transcendent. Men for kvinner er handlingens vei ofte sperret, og ikke minst skyldes dette oppdragelsen. Hennes biologiske skjebne har knyttet henne til morsrollen og husarbeidet. Hun stenges inne i gjentakelsen og immanensen, mens mannen «virkeliggjør seg selv». Men kvinnen er ikke bare objekt, hun er selv subjekt. Og kvinnerollen er ingen stivnet realitet, den er en rolle i stadig tilblivelse, hvis muligheter stadig må diskuteres. Ifølge Beauvoir må kroppen forstås som en situasjon; biologisk forskjell kan ikke rettferdiggjøre sosiale normer. Bli med når professor Tove Pettersen holder foredrag om Beauvoirs hovedverk, kjent som feminismens bibel. Tove Pettersen er professor i filosofi ved Universitetet i Oslo. Hun har spesialisert seg på feministisk filosofi, og er særlig kjent for sitt engasjement innen omsorgsetikk, Simone de Beauvoirs filosofi og feministisk filosofihistorie.

Shostakovich & Bartók
Solo Antics Conductor: Tabita Berglund Violin: Baiba Skride Program Anna Thorvaldsdottir: Archora | Norwegian Premiere Dmitri Shostakovich: Violin Concerto No. 2 Béla Bartók: Concerto for Orchestra About the Concert The evening's duo, our own Tabita Berglund and Latvian Baiba Skride, are both highly sought after on the international concert stage, and this evening the program includes Shostakovich's virtuoso low-key Violin Concerto No. 2 and Bartok's somewhat iconic Concerto for Orchestra. We open with Anna Thorvallsdottir's Archora from 2022, a work based on the beginning of the world, primordial energy, and a parallel omnipresent force – a world that is both familiar and foreign, static and in motion, nowhere and everywhere at the same time. Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto was written for the legendary David Oistrakh and “belonged to him”, and for a long time few others dared to try their hand. But now a new generation has once again taken up this contemplative concerto, and Skride “makes it sound fresh and new”, according to Gramophone. According to the composer himself, a concerto for orchestra is a gradual transition from the serious to the life-affirming. Bartók’s use of Hungarian folklore is also a foundation in this piece, where Bartók unites the concerto with the symphony and the orchestra’s various instrument groups are highlighted and allowed to shine in a concerto for, precisely, the orchestra.

Nina Lykke: Hvor er de voksne?
Forfatter Nina Lykke har i sin nyeste roman Hvor er de voksne? skapt et sårt portrett av relasjoner mellom foreldre og voksne barn. Den 21. Januar kan du møte Nina Lykke på Litteraturhuset i Trondheim. I Hvor er de voksne? møter vi Ida, en snart seksti år gammel samlivsterapeut som har mistet moren sin. Nå i ettertid gjør hun seg mange tanker om relasjonen deres. Hennes voksne sønn, Sigurd, skyver Ida ut av livet sitt, uten å gi en tydelig forklaring. De etter hvert to barnebarna hennes er det så vidt hun får møte. I tillegg har Ida opplevd samlivsbrudd, motgang og eksistensiell uro – samtidig som hun forsøker å hjelpe andre gjennom sitt arbeid som terapeut. Hvor er de voksne? handler om oppdragelse, familierelasjoner, konflikt, ansvar og frihet. Romanen åpner opp for en samtale om hva som skjer i relasjonene mellom foreldre og barna deres når barna selv er blitt voksne. Denne kvelden på Litteraturhuset møter du Nina Lykke i en samtale om foreldreskap med forfatter og journalist Guro Kulset Merakerås. Nina Lykke (f. 1965) debuterte i 2010 med den kritikerroste novellesamlingen Orgien, og andre fortellinger. Romanen Oppløsningstendenser (2013) fikk strålende anmeldelser og ble kortlistet til P2-lytternes romanpris. I 2016 fikk Lykke sitt store gjennombrudd med romanen Nei og atter nei (2016), som vant Ungdommens kritikerpris. For Full spredning. En legeroman mottok Lykke Brageprisen 2019. I 2022 utkom Lykkes femte bok, Vi er ikke her for å ha det morsomt, som ble nominert til Bokhandlerprisen. Bøkene hennes er oversatt til 20 språk. Guro Kulset Merakerås er journalist og forfatter av flere sakprosabøker: Moria – På innsiden av Europas største flyktningleir (2023) og Jeg er Mariam (2024). I 2024 vant hun NTNUs litteraturpris for Moria. Hennes siste utgivelse er Syver (2025).

Eplene i Messehagen
The Musical Theatre Production Eplene i Messehagen (The Apples in the Messe Garden) From internal songs shared among friends to performing for thousands of enthusiastic Trønders, this group has experienced more than they ever imagined. With hits like Panzerfylla, Læven, and Apparatet, the band brings an evening of energy and atmosphere! But wait – that’s a different event. Let’s focus on the musical theatre piece: Eplene i Messehagen is a musical theatre production that explores the tensions between mine workers and management, broken dreams, class divides – all wrapped in humour and powerful music. Have you seen it? Heard the music? Been to Malm? Now’s your chance to experience Eplene i Messehagen – whether for the first time or once again. Since its premiere in 2008, this acclaimed production has been seen and heard by over 35,000 audience members. The mining history of Malm is told through themes of class, love, and hope – with a generous dose of humour and unforgettable music. Written and composed by Rasmus Rohde, this is musical theatre of a rare kind. The Title The name refers to the apple trees in the garden of Messa, the director’s residence at Fosdalens Bergverk, which operated the mine in Malm from 1906. No workers were allowed inside until 1980, though local youth often snuck into the garden to steal apples. Rasmus Rohde Rasmus Rohde wrote both the lyrics and music for Eplene i Messehagen. The script is inspired by company newsletters from Fosdalens Bergverk and interviews with mine workers and locals from Malm. The story is not a documentary, but a fictional narrative based on events that could have happened. Rasmus is a musician, lyricist, composer, and playwright. He studied music and history and is a trained screenwriter from the Norwegian Film School in Lillehammer. Messehagen Messehagen is the garden of Messa, a grand villa in Malm that served for many years as the residence of the director of Fosdalens Bergverk. Built in the 1930s, the villa overlooks the Beitstadfjord. The director lived there until 1946, and in the early 1950s, the house was converted into a company residence. The large property included fruit trees and a private tennis court. Each year, company officials were invited to Christmas gatherings at Messa, but workers were never allowed inside. It wasn’t until the 1980s that ordinary people saw the interior. Messa was located on the east side of the Ressem River, across from Ressemlia, where company officials lived in elegant detached houses – nicknamed “Latterlia” (Laughter Hill). On the other side of the river, workers lived in Malmlia, an area known locally as “Korea.” While housewives in Korea shopped at local stores, some of the officials’ wives were chauffeured to Trondheim for exclusive shopping trips. Around 1960, the director paid about NOK 80 in rent for the villa and earned NOK 15,000 more annually than the Prime Minister. A Community Shaped by Mining Mining deeply influenced the local community. In the 1950s, record numbers were employed at the mine, bringing strong tax revenues to the village. A modern school and new community centre were built, and cultural life flourished. At the mine’s 50th anniversary in 1956, a festive dinner for 1,400 people was held in a giant tent at the school grounds, with Norwegian entertainment legend Leif Juster among the performers. Today, the director’s villa is privately owned. No one lives there, but it is occasionally used for events. Presented by: Gruveteater

Exhibition: Markus Lantto – Reven tenkjer ikkje på Gud
Markus Lantto – Reven tenkjer ikkje på Gud / The Fox Does Not Think About God Exhibition: 17 January – 15 February 2026 Reven tenkjer ikkje på Gud is a solo exhibition by Markus Lantto that explores how religious and architectural forms produce authority, silence and recognition. Departing from the question “How does one create a general sacred form?”, Lantto investigates how space, materials and symbols act on the body before thought. The works point to how certain aesthetic experiences can give rise to something resembling belief — even for those who do not consider themselves religious. The exhibition consists of installations and wooden sculptures, combined with embroidery and a poetic sound work. With both warmth and scepticism, Reven tenkjer ikkje på Gud opens a space for reflection on belief, doubt and cultural inheritance. Practical information The exhibition is open from 17 January to 15 February 2026. Opening hours: Monday–Friday: 12:00–17:00 Saturday–Sunday: 12:00–16:00 About the artist Markus Lantto (b. 1973, Kiruna) is a visual artist educated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Umeå, where he studied Fine Art. He is also a writer and instrument maker. In his artistic practice, he is concerned with how materials, form, and space interact and evolve in relation to one another.
