OPERA NIGHT

15 min I musical I DK, GER I 2022

When she discovers a mysterious crack
in the fundament of her workplace at the

and sets out on a Kafkaesque odyssey for help:

in this supernatural doomsday musical.

FENCE

12 min I drama I DK, GER I 2021

A fence is built between Denmark and Germany
to separate wild boars from domestic farm pigs,
to avoid the spreading of a deadly swine influenza.
Ebba wakes, just an arm length away
from her girlfriend Jona, the reminiscence
of her dream about separation and a longing
for unity takes its toll on them.
