About Chat Noir

Chat Noir (French for "black cat") is a cabaret and revue theatre in Oslo. It was founded by the singer Bokken Lasson and her later husband, the writer Vilhelm Dybwad, modelled on the 19th-century Paris cabaret Le Chat Noir, and opened on 1 March 1912 in the Tivoli building. It began as a literary cabaret and became a cultural meeting place, with the artists Christian and Oda Krohg, Bokken's sister, as leading figures; their son Per Krohg painted the first decorations. The first revue, called 1913, was staged in 1913.
