MEMORIES OF A MARRIAGE

About the show

Karl Aage’s life begins and ends with Regitze. Who is he without her? Experience Nicolaj Kopernikus and Maria Rossing in an intimate production about love and grief. 'It would be a beautiful evening. One of those rare, still, warm summer nights, where everything seems to pause and hold its breath for a moment. Regitze could not have chosen a better evening for her party.' Karl Aage has been married to Regitze for over 40 years. Now, as she faces an incurable illness, they prepare for what will be their final gathering at their allotment garden. As he reflects on a lifetime with the fearless, strong-willed, and life-affirming Regitze, his own story unfolds—one in which he has always been the passive, hesitant, and reserved one. Past and present blur together. While Regitze remains vivid and full of life before our eyes, Karl Aage observes their shared history from a distance, shaped by the weight of impending loss. He struggles to hold on to Regitze and the life they built together, yet his grief is tangled with self-reproach, regret, and anger. For what remains of him when Regitze is gone?
