Odin Teatret

Nordic Theatre Laboratory creates world-class theatre for everyone.

We create and share unforgettable stories with audiences locally, nationally, and around the world – whether on our stages, in public spaces, on tour, in schools, on the big screen, or virtually. We aim to be as inclusive, diverse, and sustainable as possible.

Our artistic foundation is based on an interest and curiosity towards theatre forms from both Western and non-Western traditions, and a desire to create a unique expression rooted in this meeting. We believe our performances offer opportunities for, and are an occasion for, a meeting of differences, whether you are in the audience or a performer.

We enrich Danish performing arts with residencies, seminars, educational activities, performances, concerts, exchanges, guest performances, festivals, and larger international collaborations and networks. We create ambitious new works of high artistic quality, the result of a unique working method and tradition developed and refined over many years.

Whether you have seen our performances many times before or are meeting us for the first time, we hope you will be entertained, captivated, and moved.
