Look forward to Aalborg Teater’s critically acclaimed community play "Ukrainian Women" when it visits CPH STAGE. On February 24, 2022, Russia attacked Ukraine. The war has forced many Ukrainians to leave their homes. Women have left their husbands. Children have left their fathers. In Aalborg alone, around 1,000 Ukrainians who fled the war now reside. The news cycle focuses on global politics, military aid, superpowers, (failed) peace agreements, chaos, and weapon systems. But in this community stage production, we give a voice to those it is actually about: women who have fled, but who have no voice in the news cycle. Here, seven Ukrainian women take the stage and share their experiences, joys, and sorrows in a life that – for all of them – was changed in an instant when the war reached them. The performance is curated and presented by CPH STAGE in collaboration with Aalborg Teater and the Royal Danish Theatre.

Ukrainian women

The Royal Danish Theatre

A fiendish mirror, crafted by the Devil himself, distorts all that is good into ugliness and absurdity. When it shatters, its shards fall upon the human world, where the children Kay and Gerda share a profound friendship. However, when a splinter from the mirror lodges in Kay's eye, it transforms his joy and enthusiasm for life into disdain and calculating cynicism. His cold pride summons the Snow Queen herself, who entices him with her icy kisses and embrace. Suddenly, Kay disappears from Gerda, and no one knows his whereabouts.

The Snow Queen (Moesgaard)

Moesgaard Museum

Moesgaard transforms into a frozen landscape as Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fairytale returns in a spectacular family production.

A magic mirror, crafted by the Devil, distorts everything beautiful, making it appear ugly and ridiculous. When the mirror shatters, its splinters rain down upon the world, where childhood friends Kay and Gerda share a deep and loving bond. But when a tiny shard lodges itself in Kay’s eye, his joy and warmth turn to scorn and cold-hearted cynicism. His newfound arrogance catches the attention of the Snow Queen herself, who lures him away with icy kisses and an irresistible embrace. Suddenly, Kay vanishes—without a trace.
