Maritea Dæhlin

Maritea Dæhlin is an interdisciplinary artist who lives and works in Norway and Mexico. She is interested in human behaviours, emotions, rituals and encounters. Her work spans between theater, video performance, performance art and text. Her art comes off as playful, non-linear and sometimes absurd.

Dæhlin's studies include a BA in Devised Theatre with Digital Arts at Dartington College of Arts in England (2007-2010) and a 2-year acting course at Nordic Black Express in Norway (2005–2007). Her work has been nominated for the Norwegian critic’s prize (2020) and for the Heddapris (2022). Dæhlin was an associated artist at Black Box teater and is a recipient of a work grant for artists by the Arts Council Norway.

Her work has been shown at venues and festivals from South- to North America and in Europe,  such as Black Box teater (Oslo), Les SUBS (Lyon), Kilden teater (Kristiansand), Nulty Bod festival (Prague), Defibrillator Gallery (Chicago), Kunstbanken – Hedmark Kunstsenter (Hamar), Center for Performance Research(New York), Centro Cultural España (Mexico City), RAS-Regional Arena for Samtidsdans (Sandnes), No Nation Gallery (Chicago), Central School of Speech and Drama (London), and San Agustin Arts Centre (Oaxaca).
