MIGHT & MAGIC
- Exhibition in the Ruins under Christiansborg Palace
The history of Danish witchcraft is a tangle of myths and mysteries. Three women acused of witchcraft, Maren Splids, Christenze Kruckow and Maren Ringsbjerg, will finally be given a voice in 2024, when the Might & Magic exhibition opens. Leading female actors lend their voices to a captivating audio track relating the fates of the three women in interactions with stunning set design.
The exhibition Might & magic is made in collaboration with Reumert-winning set designer Ditte Marie Walter Tygesen and researchers from the HEX! Museum in Ribe. Join us on a journey back to the Renaissance in the dark ruins under Christiansborg Palace, as we tell the story as it really was, in the place where it happened.
