Between 1750 and 1850, several itinerant troupes visited Norway. The theatrical plays they presented belonged to popular entertainment genres. In this article I examine the pantomimes these troupes performed in Norway: comical and historical pantomime. The aim of this examination is to provide a broader understanding of the two kinds of pantomimes presented by itinerant troupes in Norway around 1800. I end the article by looking at historiographical reasons as to why these performances have been more or less excluded from written, Norwegian theatre histories.
