About AHA-teatern
Kristin Friis, started AHA-teatern in 1984 – a puppet theatre - in Sweden. It was a one-woman touring puppet theatre. The base is now Norway, and she is not touring anymore.
As a teacher of puppet theatre she wanted to inspire and share the joy of creating with others, adults and children. She is educated teacher and worked for 14 years as a teacher in primary school and teacher of music before she started AHA-teatern. As well as creating and performing her own productions she has held a lot of classes, seminars and workshops in puppet theater. The participants was both children and adults, at schools, preschools and special schools.
2010 Kristin wrote, illustrated and edited a book called “Joy of Puppet Theatre”.
Kristin has been on tour in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Poland, Scotland, Czech, Tunisia, The United Arab Emirates and on Åland. In cooperation with Frölunda Cultural Centre in Gothenburg she has twice been to South-Africa as a puppet theatre teacher.
She does most of the work herself – the artistic and the technical work, with the scenery, puppets, puppetry and music.
She works with several types of puppets – hand puppets, small marionettes, rod puppets and mixed forms.
To compose and record music and sound-effects are parts of the creative work that she appreciates more and more.
The magic of a figure coming alive has always fascinated her. So rather than to paint pictures or write music for CD, she has chosen puppet theatre as her art form.
