With the Theater Card, you can experience a wide variety of performances, ranging from major classics to brand-new works of performing arts. The couple shares several memorable theater experiences and highlights one play that was particularly special to them;
“Villskudd was a wonderful experience. First, we had a pre-show talk with the author Gudmund Vindsun before watching the performance, which explored themes of representation and queer love,” Mads continues.
– I’m not sure if we would have seen so many different things if it hadn’t been for the theater pass
“For us, it’s the diverse program—whether the productions are big or small, well-known or obscure—that’s the deciding factor. I’m not sure we would have seen such a wide variety of shows if it weren’t for the Theater Card, ” says Mads.
