Experience H.C. Andersen's classic for the whole family in Steen Koerner's modern, musical interpretation of The Tinderbox. The performance takes place at Musikhuset Esbjerg on January 26, 2027, at 6:00 PM.

Theater, street dance, 3D animation and music come together in a colorful tale for children and adults alike. Meet the poor soldier returning home, the witch and the dogs with eyes as big as teacups, mill wheels and the Round Tower – and the princess who dreams of love and freedom beyond the castle walls.

In Koerner & Co's interpretation, the fairy tale enters our own time and becomes a poetic, heartfelt tribute to mothers and sons at war throughout the ages. Visual effects, new music and lyrics accompany the story of courage, initiative, hope and forgiveness.
