Folketeatret is Denmark's oldest theatre building, and it was the first theatre to invite children inside. Since it opened in 1857, its aim has been to make theatre for everyone.
On this guided tour, pupils go behind the scenes to see how a theatre production comes together. The route takes them through the theatre machinery and into the paint room, the carpentry workshop, the make-up department and the costume workshop, where they learn the key terms of the theatre world. The tour also covers the theatre's three stages (Store Scene, Hippodromen and Kvisten) and its foyer. The tour can be tailored to a chosen theme, a specific performance or the age group's learning goals.
