BIT – Bergen Internasjonale Teater
Bergen Internasjonale Teater, or BIT for short, co-produces and presents Norwegian and international performing arts, and places particular emphasis on projects that stimulate international collaboration and work across artistic genres. BIT takes responsibility for highlighting the latest in dance, theatre and performance, including the facilitation of a relevant discourse program.
In 2025, Norwegian studio PART was commissioned to create the new identity, coinciding with the move to a permanent home at Sentralbadet after 14 years of nomadic operation. As stated on their website, they drew “inspiration from the energy and cohesion surrounding modern dance and theater. From the potential for friction and the fluidity of dance. From the unpredictability and suspense that come from not knowing exactly what will happen.”
This inspiration is clearly reflected in the use of the typeface Bertin, designed by Roman Seban and distributed by 205TF. Acording to PART, Bertin “piques curiosity and brings the unknown to the fore through expressive filtering.” As secondary typeface, for certain practical details, they used Neue Haas Grotesk (Christian Schwartz, Commercial Type).
