The theater company

The theater house was built in 1986, and is situated in the northern harbor in Luleå. The house is built as three wooden houses linked together, and mimics the boathouses that was situated in the harbour prior to the theater. A fourth house holds the regional dance centre, and the fifth the Luleå theater academy. The house holds three stages.
