In this new play, award-winning dramatist Christian Lollike turns a fairy-tale lens on Denmark's defence and the will of its people. A small kingdom in the far north is threatened, its army has no soldiers, and its leaders ask how to get ordinary people to pull together when they have only ever been reminded of war by the siren test each May.
The production asks what it means to be a "we" when conflict arrives, and what we are prepared to sacrifice. Sharp social satire runs through it, and the piece is intended as a serious and timely reflection rather than light entertainment. Lollike has won a Reumert award for Best Production two years running, for Skolekomedien in 2024 and Jeppe på Bjerget in 2025.
Expect a intense evening: the production uses strobe lighting, smoke and loud sound effects.
