Global InformationKomedianten information
Komedianten ("The Trouper") is a cultural centre with a public library, art gallery and performing operations in Varberg, Sweden. The library is the main public library in Varberg Municipality, and also the municipality's largest public library. The library has been at its present location since 1981. In 2010–2012, the library was expanded with an additional floor and converted to the current arts center, which was inaugurated on 14 January 2012.
The name comes from the block which is named Komedianten, because of the theatre that was built on the property next to the cultural centre in 1895. Since 2012, the theatre is integrated with the cultural centre. A trouper (Swedish: komediant) was formerly a traveling actor, and the word was considered by the municipal executive board in Varberg to be an appropriate name for the cultural center, with a clear reference to world of culture.
