Morning traffic is in chaos. A giant pepper mill, made from oil drums, is blocking Frederikssundsvej, one of Copenhagen’s main arteries. Florist Tobias is convinced it must be for him—it is, after all, his 30th birthday today, and in Denmark, a giant pepper mill is a traditional gift for those who reach that age unmarried. But neither his employer nor any of his three closest friends have arranged for a pepper mill in his honour. In fact, they had almost forgotten his birthday altogether. Because friends grow up, start families of their own—and suddenly, you find yourself alone in life.

How does it affect people to be in a place where war or the threat of war is constantly present? What remains of humanity when the foundations of civilisation crumble?

The Possibilities...

In THE YEARS, we follow a series of personal memories and a societal development at the same time. Clinically sharp and without sentimentality, the story takes us on a story of desire that ranges from the discovery of the ego's clitoris, a sexual assault, an illegal abortion, motherhood and an affair in adulthood.

THE YEARS Based on Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux's masterpiece

Republique

Karl-Aage’s life begins and ends with Regitze. Who is he without her? Experience Olaf Johannessen and Maria Rossing in an intimate production about love and grief.

'It would be a beautiful evening. One of those rare, still, warm summer nights, where everything seems to pause and hold its breath for a moment. Regitze could not have chosen a better evening for her party.'

Karl-Aage has been married to Regitze for over 40 years. Now, as she faces an incurable illness, they prepare for what will be their final gathering at their allotment garden. As he reflects on a lifetime with the fearless, strong-willed, and life-affirming Regitze, his own story unfolds—one in which he has always been the passive, hesitant, and reserved one.
