Marie Grubbe - Marathon Performance is a preview performance of a sensual and ambitious theatre experience about a woman who refuses to conform. The production follows the dramatic life of Marie Grubbe in 17th-century Denmark, from her years as a young noblewoman and her marriage to Ulrik Frederik Gyldenløve to her social downfall and all-consuming love for the coachman Søren. The play presents an intense portrait of a woman who challenged the norms of her time regarding gender, class, and freedom.
The performance is based on J.P. Jacobsen's novel Fru Marie Grubbe. J.P. Jacobsen was a Danish author associated with the Modern Breakthrough, known for his psychological depth and sensual language.
This is a marathon performance staged on Fridays and Saturdays, with both parts shown on the same day. There is a break of approximately 1 hour between part 1 and part 2, and the total running time including breaks is expected to be between 5-6 hours. The performance takes place at Odense Teater, and admission is 275 kr.
