Event details

Teatret Gruppe 38 brings Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale of a little girl selling matches on a bitterly cold New Year's Eve to the stage. Three performers, Bodil Alling, Søren Søndberg and Jakob Kirkegaard, carry the story.

Beneath its harsh setting, the production finds room for hope, faith and love. It is less a bleak tale than a celebration of the power of a fairy tale to lift us, and a reminder that life is worth living happily. The production received the Reumert Award for Best Children's Production in 2003.
