DrømmeDøden (2021)

DrømmeDøden
- a Nordic drama about a fragile union

With strong parallels to today, where we stand with a European Union that has a hard time with unity, rulers who balance on the edge of the laws of democracy and a pandemic that has changed the world, this opera is based on the common history of the Nordic countries, and focuses on powerful women in the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Women who, like a golden braid, hang together in long chains of learning and influence.

With the Kalmar Union of Margaret I as the guiding thread, we take a different look at history and follow the threads that run between queens and trading women, contributing to the story of who we are in the Nordic countries.
