Yes—the old fairy tale of H.C. Andersen is indeed very sad. But in this edition by APOLLO TEATER and performance artist Erik Pold we give the story of the little girl, who dies of cold, a twist with lots of warmth, humor and excitement.

The story connects with poverty among children in our modern and rich societies—together with telling the old fairy tale with respect for Andersens words.

In a mixture of text and movements, dance and theater, our edition of The Little Matchgirl offers both touching, exiting and comic moments. Performed in English.

 

All our performances mix modern dance, acting and performance with humor and poetry.
