Review: LES MISÉRABLES at Folketeateret
by Christian Ranke - Sep 4, 2026

Scenekvelder’s new Les Misérables trusts the score without treating it as a museum piece. Dark, modern and deeply felt, it finds new images for the story while remaining faithful to the form that gives it power. Les Misérables is so familiar that a new production can easily become either a careful reproduction or an argument with its own material. Guy Unsworth’s staging for Scenekvelder finds the more rewarding path between them. It honours the images and emotions audiences bring to the theatre, yet places them in a visual world with a force and logic of its own. The result feels timeless because it understands the past rather than trying to escape it.
