Human Afvikling at the Royal Danish Theatre

Journalist and comedian Jacob Nossel, suffering from Cerebral Palsy, theatre director Thomas Corneliussen, and postdoc at the Center Kristian Martiny have collaborated to develop a modern-day theatre piece called "Human Afvikling" (Danish). The play gives you a surprising, entertaining and yet brutally honest view of life with a handicap in Denmark in 2016.

A pilot version of "Human Afvikling" played at The Old Stage (Gamle Scene) in 2014 and received great attention, partly due to its central role in the documentary film Natural Disorder which was nominated at IDFA, one of the world's leading documentary film festivals, in 2015.

The piece will play at The Playhouse (Skuespilhuset) from 19 October and onwards.

For more information see the site on the Royal Danish Theatres webpage (in Danish).
