Imagine if the children from Ole Lund Kirkegaard’s books all lived in the same house – the Corner House. Here, you’ll find Topper, his friend Viggo, and Ivan Olsen with their families, the coffee-loving aunt, and the caretaker, while Topper’s sort-of girlfriend, Sille, whizzes past on her bicycle.

Experience a spine-tingling children’s ballet written by one of Denmark’s funniest and most innovative authors, Kim Fupz Aakeson.
 

An ordinary girl is dancing in front of the mirror on an ordinary day when she suddenly stops. Something about her reflection isn’t quite ordinary. Perhaps she isn’t alone after all…

This is how the children’s ballet The Forgotten Children begins. The curious and fearless girl is determined to find out what happens if she climbs through the mirror—and this is where the adventure truly takes off. Suddenly, she finds herself in a bizarre underworld filled with strange characters, including the wicked Miss Master, who delights in stealing children’s hearts, a sneaky gang of cats, a troupe of cunning mice, and ghost children—lots of ghost children. But who are they? Why are they there? And what do they want?

The Forgotten Children

For 25 years, they have worked tirelessly to keep the family farm afloat, in part to support Sonja’s father, a professor living in the city.

In 2024, The Savage Rose proved once again why their star shines so brightly in the Danish music sky. The band shut down the Danish venues with a sold-out 50th anniversary tour for the iconic Wild Child album. All over the country they were received by completely sold-out houses and ended with two magnificent concerts in the Opera.

In 2025, the band continues with Annisette at the front, with another tour around the country. The Savage Rose's music is known for being both raw, poetic and deeply personal. The band has released 25 albums and achieved great recognition both nationally and internationally. They show time and time again their ability to create music that reflects the spirit of the times and at the same time challenges the conventions of the genre.
