Introduction 45 minutes before the performance

Helsingör is a hermetic habitat, an oxygen tent which keeps safe the country's elite. The Royal
Family loses itself in the abyss of this clinical shelter and wears itself down insmall battles.
The mourning for the dead king should be repressed but the dead are not dead. They live in a
parallel universe to Helsingör, in a fire and brimstone out of which they beset their living.
An exciting, coercive interpretation with the towering Christian Bergmann in the title role, changing from second to second between his mummy-boy and macho role.
