Fyrtøjet brings H. C. Andersen's classic fairy tale to life in a fast-paced, colourful production that blends theatre, street dance, 3D animation and music. Steen Koerner's modern, musical take keeps the familiar story of the homecoming soldier, the witch, the dogs with eyes as big as teacups and the princess who dreams of love and freedom beyond the castle walls.
The production also turns the tale towards our own time, becoming a poetic and tender tribute to all mothers and sons in war. The cast includes Stephanie Nguyen, Mette Horn, Hervé Toure, Isa Marie Henningsen, Toby DeeDaran, Ibrahim Madsen, Oliver Zohore and Malthe Ørsted, with Folketeatret as the producer.
