ABSTRACT
According to the dictionary, an inventory is a list "useful to retrieve what is to be found in a specific place". In archival studies, the term inventory is meant as a "more or less analytical description of the systematically arranged contents of one specific archival fonds". This chapter presents the rearrangement of one section of the Odin Teatret Archives. It describes the archives contain much more: photographs, films, audio documents and posters—which are only marginally present. The chapter investigates through some of them the peculiar creative process for the performances of this theatre. The Odin Teatret still retains the physical paper photographs, the audio files and, of course, the pending materials which are yet to be inventoried and arranged, such as organizational and administrative binders. The Odin Teatret has always been interested in its future and archives are desires for immortality. However, not all theatres, not even the very famous ones, are granted the fulfillment of such a desire.
