August Strindberg Play Night
To commemorate the 100-year anniversary of Swedish playwright August Strindberg’s death, the Copenhagen Theatre Circle and the International Theatre of Malmö have teamed up to present two of his plays in English. The Stronger, one of his most acclaimed works, centres on two actresses conversing in a cafe, while the rarely performed Simoom features a battle of wills between a French legionnaire and an Arab woman in the Algerian desert. Strindberg is perhaps best known today as being one of the major influences on the US realist dramatists of the 20th century – most particularly Eugene O’Neill.
Krudttønden, Serridslevvej 2B, Cph Ø; Sat Mar 9, 16:00 and 19:00; tickets: 60kr; www.ctcircle.dk
Jeg ved hvor din hus den bor
In this ballet, the bizarrely-titled Jeg ved hvor din hus den bor (I know where your house it lives), the trio Åben Dans honours people who are permanently held back by metaphorical walls of fear. This powerful message is performed in a world with walls of brown moving boxes that are constantly being shifted, rebuilt and torn down.
Lille Scene, Skuespilhuset, Sankt Annæ Plads 36, Cph K; starts Thu, ends March 12, performances Thu 10:00 & 12:00; tickets: 100kr; duration 50 mins; www.kglteater.dk
