Children 8-11 yo

The greatest love story, told without any words. Freely after William Shakespeare. The two young people, Romeo and Juliet, fall in love, even though their families hate each other. They marry in secret, but a series of accidents and misunderstandings make Romeo believe Juliet is dead. He takes his own life in despair, and when Juliet wakes up and sees him dead, she does the same. Only then, the families realize how pointless their enmity was. The classic love story, told nonverbally, with humor, ease, soloistic in pure physics and mime. A show in a light and playful tone, suitable for children from 7 years old.

A furry ice dragon has found a dragon egg and placed it in the treasure tower. But what is hiding inside the egg?

A poetic tale of light and darkness, dreams and magic – for children and their adults! Based on the creation myth, Raven steals the light, which originates from the Haida people (British Columbia, Canada) darkness is staged as a magical space for strange appearances and transformations. The myth tells how Raven succeeds in returning the light to a world swallowed by darkness. Through magic, visual theatre, and music, the tale is retold, and the darkness is tamed. A custom-built and light-sealed dome forms a theatre space that embraces both stage and audience. A cave where total darkness can be created – a traveling fragment of the night. Please note! Although complete darkness occurs in a few scenes, the performance is created with young audiences in mind (from 6 years). CREDITS: Idea, cre

How do you find your freedom and the courage to decide for yourself where in the world you want to go, when you are no bigger than a thumb? In collaboration with the English director Alex Byrne, we present a new version of Thumbelina by Hans Christian Andersen — the story of the girl who can comfortably sleep inside a walnut shell. It is the tale of a girl swept away by the current, abducted through the air, and imprisoned beneath the ground. “Thumbelina” is a harsh, touching, and humorous ensemble performance — told and performed in a botanical stage setting by four actors using music and puppetry.

Mød en verden fuld af løb, spring og bevægelse – ligesom i sport. ’4. pladsen’ er en forestilling, der gør op med fortællingen om, at kun det bedste er godt nok. Nogle gange snubler man, falder eller laver fejl. Og det er helt okay! For når vi prøver igen, hjælper hinanden og ikke giver op, kan der ske noget magisk. ’4. pladsen’ hylder modet til at prøve igen og glæden ved at gøre det, man elsker. Forestillingen udspiller sig i et atletik-inspireret univers. Den opfordrer os til at gentænke vores forhold til fiasko og inspirerer os til at blive ved med at gøre det, som vi er bedst til: at snuble, falde, fejle, gentage, gentænke, søge sammenhold og lykkes. Børn er kollektive væsner, der endnu ikke mestrer alle discipliner og ikke er i reel kontrol over deres liv og dagligdag. ’4. pladsen’ h
