PERFORMER Hanne Dahle
DEBUT 1991

Alfa is a character on Sesam Stasjon, the Norwegian co-production of Sesame Street, which takes place in a train station.

Alfa works at the station store and helps out in the cafe. Although she is a generally cheerful person who laughs and giggles often, she also has a calmer, more philosophical side. She is curious and inquisitive about new things, and the show's various guest stars are often the subjects of her many questions

Alfa enjoys reading, writing, and daydreaming. Her actual species is never stated (Sesam Stasjon never referred to any of its Muppets as "monsters"), though Max Mekker once referred to her, in a story he made up, as "en gul dings" ("a yellow thingy").

Alfa, along with her friends, appeared in a special New Year's Eve report from Norway in the special Sesame Street Stays Up Late.

Outside of Sesam Stasjon, Alfa appeared in studio bookend segments on the Finnish co-production Seesamtie (1997-2000), performed by Erja Alander.

The puppet was displayed with other historic TV props in the exhibit center at NRK in Marienlyst until it closed in 2013.

In 2023, Alfa appeared on the Norwegian Christmas special "Kvelden før kvelden", where she, alongside some other of NRK's most beloved puppets sang "Bjelleklang".
