Take an atmospheric walk through H.C. Andersen’s House and garden in a newly produced performance that celebrates creativity and reflects on death through the lens of adventure and the reconciliation of art. Experience live music, dancing, narration and art inspired by H.C. Andersen’s stories about life and death – dramatic and dreamy, poetic and moving.
The performance has been created in collaboration with students from the Danish National Academy of Music, the Koma Ballet and several other contributors.
Practical information: The experience lasts approximately 45 minutes per guest. The audience will be admitted to the museum in smaller groups; therefore, it is recommended that you arrive 10-15 minutes before the time slot stated on your ticket.
Ticket reservation: Free admission, but it is possible to reserve a ticket in advance to ensure a spot. Ticket reservation via H.C. Andersen’s House.
Recommended age: 10 years and up
Special accommodations:
Please note that guests are required to move through the museum from scene to scene, which may be demanding for those with mobility issues. Wheelchair participation is possible.
