The Klemetspelet and Jamtjordmartnan 2027

The Klemetspelet is a large outdoor theatre performance that has been staged every other year since its inception in 2013. When the play is staged again in August 2027, it will have been three years since the last one. But no one has been idle since then, and the audience can expect new surprises!

The play is about the Sami Klemet Person who lived with his family at the top of Leirskardalen, under Klemethelleren – not far from Rabothytta at Okstindan – around the turn of the last century. Klemet was a man who both fascinated and frightened. The play gives a picture of a time and a society that is distant, but also with characteristics of our time. The Klemet play is performed in collaboration with Nordland Teater, Åaerjehlsamien teater and Giron Teater, where both professional and local actors participate. In connection with the play itself, a separate martna is arranged; Jamtjordmartnaden, with a recreation of the old marketplace.

In 2016, Klemetspelet received the American Architecture Prize for its sets, and in 2018, the same sets received the APDC*IDA (Asia Pacific Design Center + International Design Awards) – Excellence Design Awards for Religious and Spiritual Building. NRK TV broadcast the documentary “Bergtatt” about Klemet and Klemetspelet in 2016.
