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

All the citizens of Vejlby, a small, peaceful town in central Jutland, are shaken. The priest has had an argument with his fellow, Niels, who has now disappeared without a trace. The town's new and inexperienced district bailiff, who is also the priest's future son-in-law, is forced to solve the case. But as the investigation begins and the events unfold, skeletons come out of the closet, and a grim story of old grudges, spurned love and frayed morals sees the light of day.

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.

FIRST I UNDERSTAND NOTHING is Pernille Højmark's strong, honest and musical one-woman show about adversity, struggles and defining moments in life. With her well-known humor, her sharp tongue and a vulnerability that few people know her for, Pernille Højmark takes the audience on a journey through adversity and success. From an unusually raw childhood, a fierce and wild youth to a versatile career as a singer and actress.

Only now do I understand anything.

Ponderings

Winnie finds herself buried up to her waist in a pile of dung, but is determined to carry on with her chores as best she can. With her is a small bag, an umbrella, and her husband Willie. Despite the relentless sun and the fact that she is slowly sinking deeper and deeper into the pile, Winnie insists that this is a happy day; every day is a happy day.

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?

Even before birth, we know the water. The baby floats safely in the womb, surrounded by gentle movements, soft sounds and mother's emotions. This is where the connection to the world begins – in the soft, undulating and flowing.
