Teater ad Libitum arranged in 1986 a small, international festival in the market halls called Basarhallene (in Oslo), with improvisation between musicians and actors as a theme. Participants came from Italy, Sweden, Great Britain, USA - and Norway. The festival was called Ad Libitum and partly took part outdoors, with concerts, performances and impro sessions.

Teater ad Libitum also produced Last Supper (Black Box Teater 1989) - devised theatre based on Ovid's Metamorphoses and selected texts by Shakespeare.
