In the Danish director Kirsten Dehlholm's play based on Astrid Lindgren in the book "The Lionheart Brothers", the narrator of the story is Karl Leon, or in other words - Toast Lionheart. Using his inner world - illness, death, betrayal, tyranny, brotherly love, loyalty, courage and other experiences, the aim is to convey an emotional connection and reveal various layers of history.

This is not a traditional dramatization of the novel. The creators called the work a visual audio drama, in which the story of the Lionheart Brothers is told through sounds, images and voices, using various audiovisual technologies. The aspiration of the creators of the performance is to arouse the imagination and senses of the audience, so one of the most important highlights of the performance is the sound that surrounds the entire audience hall, which, according to the creators, reaches the human subconscious much faster and deeper than the image.

How would you tell a child about war and death today? I have never produced plays aimed at a particular age group. It is important for me that both children and adults understand the play. I like to bring the audience together and not leave a gap between them. It seemed to me that it was impossible to talk about the war, it was impossible to tell it on stage. But the more I thought about the topic of children and war, the more I remembered the book "The Lionheart Brothers" by the Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren. Although the book is written for a younger audience, I found it to be a wonderful book that contains many important themes. I was also impressed by the text of the book itself, which I think is very good, strong and meaningful. So we wanted to keep it authentic. In the show, we found it important to tell the main story. We refined the text by removing many side stories, - says the director of the play, Kirsten Dehlholm.

Premiere: January 20, 2018
