It presents a study of the changing narrative of St Olav's Place in the Centre of Oslo, undertaken by an international consultancy team of students comprising - Eudine Blancardi, Félix Blanchard, Kostas Argyriou, Kristofer Mattsson and Julian Riise.

My name is Leif Juster, and I am a Norwegian actor, singer, comedian and
theatre manager. I am Norway’s undisputed cabaret king and spider’s
(Edderkoppen’s) father.
Originally, the planner of St Olav’s Plass, City architect Georg Andreas
Bull’s residence was located here. This villa was built in 1860 after Bull’s
design. It was demolished in the 1930s and replaced by the functionalist
building which stands here today. This new building hosted apartment
houses and was designed by the architects Jarle Berg and Antti Norrgren.
Check out the corner of St. Olavs place 1. The Gildevangen Kaffistove
og Delikatesseforretning were both located here for a couple of years in
1941 and 1942. From 1943, Kaffistove moved to St. Olavs place 3, whilst
the Delicatessen business continued in St. Olavs place 1.
I got my big break at Scala in 1935 in the autumn show «We have the honour»
and in 1937 I joined the Chat Noir at Klingenberggata 5.
During the war, when I was the revue actor’s trustee in the Actors’ Association,
I spent a few months at Grini prison. This followed the actor strike
in May 1941 when we refused to present material by the Nazis. In autumn
1942, the first Revue Theater Edderkoppen was born in the Søilen Teater
at Keysers gate, south of St Olavs Plass. We moved to St Olavs Plass into
larger premises in 1945.
