Hans Christian Andersen's famous tale of a girl selling matches on a freezing New Year's Eve is told here as a performance for children and young people. The show is about hope in the middle of hardship: a small match struck against the cold opens up a world of warmth and imagination, and the story is meant as a tale of faith, hope and love as much as a sad one.
The cast is Bodil Alling, Søren Søndberg and Jakob Kirkegaard. The production was awarded Årets Reumert in 2003. Bodil Alling is also appearing in other performances at Teatret Gruppe 38 in late November and early December, including a three-course long-table dinner that extends the theatre evening.
