THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL

Oh! A match afford her world of comfort. If she only dared take a single one out of the bundle.
In the midst of misery, hardship and pain – hope emerges. Against all expectations.

Suppose You had A Portable Grammophone

SUPPOSE YOU HAD A PORTABLE GRAMOPHONE

A loving salute to the famous Danish writer Karen Blixen.

In a tiny village, far north, lives a small group of people in brown dresses and black coats.
They look down mostly.
And because they look down, they have nothing to talk about and nothing to long for.

But then there’s Viola.
This is a story about Viola.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Maybe this is the best Danish theatre you can experience right now…This performance is magnificent theatre.” – Jyllands-Posten (DK)

I LIKE IT BEST WHEN YOU’RE HERE

With love from me to you!

Clean up!
Make space!
Here comes LOVE!
Where can I put it?
Where can I leave it?
Where do you want it?

Greatest of all is love. Love can rein fear and anger and stand victoriously behind when everything else has gone. In this performance, we clean up and draw love into light.

“A heavenly mouthful from Teatret Gruppe 38. Or should we say: Another one?” – Morten Hede, Theatre Critic (DK)

Gruppe 38 - A Story of A House That Turned into A Dot - photo Olivier Guillemain

A STORY OF A HOUSE THAT TURNED INTO A DOT

A story about how long the road home is, when you run away in anger.

She became so hopping mad
She became so fizzling furious
She became so livid with rage
that she opened the window and climbed down the ladder
And then she ran.
