Sverre Waage started the company Cirkus Xanti in 2001. For the company he has created productions such as The Ring (2001), Prince of the Trolls (2003 and 2004/2005), Trollringen* (The Troll Ring) (2007) and Winter Sun (2007).
Prince of the Trolls, written and directed by Waage, won The Hedda Award 2006 in the best production for children and youth category.
The Hedda Jury gave the following reason:
"It is important that good, untraditional productions for children and youth are made. But the jury did not find enough worthy candidates for the award last year, not the year before the last, and the awards were not given out. This year the jury has nominated three very different, but as exciting productions, and the winner is a sweepingly grand performance, bringing new elements to the theatre. A fairytale for the whole family, in which audience members of all ages could find something to delight in. Perhaps each in their way. But together.
This year's winner is Prince of the Trolls by Sverre Waage at The Norwegian Theatre."
