ABSTRACT

The fonds was donated by Roberta Carreri, wife of Torgeir Wethal and actor at the Odin Teatret, on the death of the actor in 2010. It includes some documents kept by the actor in his dressing-room office (folders 3–24), and some documents kept by Torgeir Wethal at home (binders 1–2, and 25–44), mainly in his study. The references "home" or "dressing room" indicate these two locations. The Wethal Fonds does not include the negatives of photographs by Torgeir Wethal. They are especially important as a document of the first years of the theatre's life, when Wethal was more active as a photographer. Torgeir Wethal, actor, co-founder of the Odin Teatret, born in Oslo on 16 January 1947, died on 27 June 2010. While he was still very young, before the foundation of the Odin Teatret, he worked as an actor in amateur performances.
