Josephine Park stars as Yerma in a gripping drama about a modern woman’s all-consuming desire for a child—and the lengths she will go to in pursuit of her dream.

What do you do when you have every opportunity in life, yet your greatest wish remains unfulfilled?

Yerma is a successful city woman in full control of her life. She has never considered having children—until the day she moves into her new townhouse. Suddenly, the desire arises: there is plenty of space, after all. She persuades her partner, and together they try for years to conceive.

As their efforts prove unsuccessful, she restructures their work and private lives around her ovulation cycles. She shares intimate details of their struggle with infertility and family pressures on social media, while her partner gradually loses interest in fertility treatments—and in their relationship. Once, she had never defined her body by its biological function. Now, the deep longing for motherhood consumes her entirely, turning into an obsession.

The Royal Danish Theatre

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

Morten Hee Andersen returns as the ultimate seducer in Molière’s tragicomedy of deception, desire, and self-delusion.

Don Juan always follows his heart, surrendering himself freely to overwhelming beauty, intoxicating infatuation, and the pleasures of love. With his loyal servant Sganarelle by his side, he is constantly on the run from the consequences of his actions—always in pursuit of his next conquest. Everything is done in the name of liberation, for Don Juan bows to no rules, laws, or conventions. But can one truly live a life without regard for others, guided only by personal desire? Or will retribution eventually catch up with him?

Dance and words go hand in hand when choreography meets acting in Anja Behrens’ staging of Ibsen’s wildly imaginative classic. Peer Gynt wanders the world, driven by a relentless thirst for acknowledgment and the urge to escape his childhood. Subjected to his mother's deprivation and sorrow over the traumatic dissolution of his family and home, he has spent his life evading truth and reality, escaping into delusions, fantasies and grandiose lies. This serves as both his salvation and his curse. When he finally returns home, he is confronted with his profound fear of death.
