At its best, theatre functions as a wonderful illusion machine. It originated 2,500 years ago in Greece and has since evolved through artists such as Shakespeare, Molière, Norén and Strindberg. But what exactly can theatre do? And where is theatre art heading? You will get a qualified idea of this when Karen-Lise Mynster, Stina Ekblad, Tina Gylling Mortensen, Nicolas Bro, Jens Albinus and Olaf Johannessen take to the stage and capture the innermost essence of theatre art. The performance will be a play on the actors' ability to create magic in a montage of dramatic, poetic and humorous theatre texts from the past and present. - Date: 7 October 2026 - Time: 20:00–22:45 - Venue: Det Kongelige Teater - Skuespilhuset - Address: Sankt Annæ Plads 36, Copenhagen K, Denmark - Admission: From DKK 595
