SUPPOSE YOU HAD A PORTABLE GRAMOPHONE

Teatret Møllen, Carte Blanche, teater2tusind and Teatret Gruppe 38

A loving salute to Karen Blixen.

Suppose you had club foot.
Then you could stand on one leg and see much higher.
Suppose we didn’t exist.
Then nobody could find us.
Suppose you had a portable gramophone.
Where would you take it.

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.
She keeps herself to herself; she looks down and tries to sing very quietly in church on Sundays. She is dreaming and yearning and asks a hundred questions.

This is a story about Viola. 

The performance was rewarded with the Danish Award Reumert of The Year, in the category Special Performance of The Year. 

Maybe this is the best Danish theatre you can experience right now…This performance is just theatre - magnificent theatre.

Fragile and beautiful at the same time - a very great performance.

A little whimsical miracle that no one ought to miss out on!
