Theatre of Cruelty (Norwegian: Grusomhetens Teater) is a Norwegian theater company based in Oslo's Hausmania cultural centre. The company produced its first performance in collaboration with Trøndelag Teater in 1989, and was established as an independent group in 1992.[1][2] The theater has since its establishment been under the management and artistic direction of Lars Øyno. In 2002, the theater company received support from the Norwegian Arts Council to launch its own performing space in Hausmania.
The Theatre of Cruelty is inspired by Antonin Artaud's ideas of a double and physical theater, where the body's musical breathing and expressions are actions meant to generate deconstruction and retheatralisation.
