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.

Royal Danish Opera

The princess wants a man with something on his mind. Clumsy Hans' two brothers – learned and articulate – prepare to impress with their fine clothes and long words. They take their horses and ride towards the castle. Clumsy Hans is left behind. The odd one in the family. The one who stumbles a little and picks up things from the ditch; an old wooden shoe, a dead crow and mud in his pocket.

Aalborg Theater

A musical performance of HOW TO KILL A DOG
Bambi is Back is an examination of modern motherhood in a world that has lost its connection to nature.

Bambi moves with his mother and father into the shadow of an amusement park – in what was once a forest – to live a seemingly safe and sheltered life. But the idyll is shattered. The mother feels how she is slowly losing herself in trying to take care of those she loves most, and in trying to live up to both her own and society's ideals. In the encounter with the forest, she must let go of the idea of ​​the all-sacrificing mother and come to terms with the forces that have shaped her. The family comes under pressure when the balance between love, care, independence and self-sacrifice begins to slip.

Can love survive despair and shattered dreams? A melancholic classic about egoism, love, jealousy, and longing in a time of crisis.

The stage is transformed into a carnival wonderland, with a towering Ferris wheel at its heart. Led by the Royal Danish Playhouse’s resident director, Anna Balslev, the artistic collective Regimentet explores whether good people still exist—or if crisis and the ruthless nature of the economic system reduce us to selfish individuals who use one another for personal gain.

The question arises: Have we mastered the art of navigating crises or merely the management of our own existence?

Marie Antoinette

The Royal Danish Playhouse

Jeppe is a man utterly devoid of control over his own life; he's a tenant farmer, beaten and cheated on by his wife, Nille. Additionally, Jeppe bears the scars of a decade in military service. His only escape is to drown his sorrows in alcohol at Jacob Shoemaker’s inn. When the baron and his servants find the drunken Jeppe on the dungheap and, as a practical joke, elevate him to king-for-a-day, he, as the 'baron,' assumes power and becomes surprisingly tyrannical before being drunkenly thrown back onto the dungheap. His punishment is an even more malicious jest, as Jeppe is mockingly sentenced to death and hanged, only to return home for one final humiliation.
