Folketeatret

How does an empty stage become living performing arts, and what does it actually take? What is the theater like as a workplace, and what stories are hidden behind the theater's 168-year-old history?

Guided tour of the Folketeatret

Hannibal orders nothing but hanging. His days drag on boringly while his grandmother knits chickens, and his parents endlessly tell how healthy boys made time pass in the old days. But Hannibal doesn't think it's as much fun as when his father was a boy, so he just hangs on. It's not until the talking dog, Jerry, moves in that everyday life gets a bit of color, and the two become the best of friends in the world.

She is only in her 30s and lives life in the city. Sweet boyfriend, lovely apartment, newborn baby. It all works. But it is turned upside down when her boyfriend tells her that he has got a job as a teacher at a high school in Velling! A small spot on the west coast of Jutland, where the grass stands horizontally in the wind, and where sentences are few and short. How is she supposed to function in that society, with her great love of words? Because what do people from West Jutland actually think about in the pauses between their sentences? And how does she avoid filling the silence with gibberish?
