Our plans for the autumn season
Harlequin Academy has always been international: our artists speak many languages and have roots in different nationalities.
In the new season, new horizons have opened up before us. The play " The Snow Queen " was invited by the Lyngby community. Let's play in Danish! Like this!
The performance will take place on October 4 at 15:00 at Kulturstedet Lindegården.
This is the first time we have such a premiere! We are very happy and worried of course.
The play “The Snow Queen” is translated into Danish by our actor Alexander Schodt, his command of two languages is amazing, he seems to juggle words and select possible analogues in Danish. We are proud of our translator and our actors!
We are waiting for you at the performance! Detailed information can be viewed:
