Experience Jakob Martin Strid’s grand masterpiece in a new musical and poetic production for children.

Following the phenomenal success of The Incredible Story of the Giant Pear, we are proud to invite children and adults alike to yet another Strid adventure as The Fantastic Bus takes over the Main Stage at the Royal Danish Playhouse.

Life in Ahnstarr City is not easy for Taku, Spir, and their friends. Their small wooden houses by the harbour are being torn down, and little Timo is seriously ill. Only the rare saffron lily, which grows in the dreamland of Balanka, can cure him. When two old Phantom-8 jet engines from a failed expedition 25 years ago are rediscovered, and a plasma generator is brought back to life, Spir has an idea: let’s build a bus and travel to Balanka!

The Fantastic Bus 

Royal Danish Opera

In Manhattan, a generation after the height of the AIDS epidemic, Eric, a sensitive soul, and a talented yet self-destructive writer, Toby, share a turbulent love affair that tears everyone around them apart. While the United States, where Trump wins the presidency, is becoming more and more polarised, the world around them seems to be collapsing.
