About: Jeppe på bjerget

Holberg's 300-year-old comedy about the peasant Jeppe gets a radical overhaul in Christian Lollike's version, where Jeppe is a traumatised war veteran caught in a cultural elite's reality show. The production won the Reumert Prize for Best Production 2025 and plays at Aarhus Teater's Store Scene with Thure Lindhardt in the title role.
