A visual sound drama based on Astrid Lindgren's classic tale of brotherhood, war, and death.
Danish director Kirsten Dehlholm brings Astrid Lindgren's "The Brothers Lionheart" to the stage in a unique visual sound drama. The production explores themes of war, death, betrayal, and brotherly love through the eyes of Karl Lionheart, using sound, visuals, and voices to create an immersive experience. The creative team, including sound designer Kristian Hverring, aims to stimulate the audience's imagination and senses, making sound a central element of the storytelling.
This is not a traditional adaptation; instead, it's a sensory journey that delves into the emotional layers of Lindgren's powerful text. Dehlholm and dramaturg Anne Mette Fisker Langkjer crafted the entire dramaturgy directly from the book, preserving its authentic language. The director emphasizes that the play is for all ages, aiming to unite the audience in a shared experience of this profound story.
