Borgen masterfully portrays the struggle for political power and the personal consequences for everyone involved. It depicts Birgitte’s journey through her first two years in office and the sacrifices she makes in both her public and private life.
Borgen, the the 9-hour event with dinner while watching, transforms all rooms of the main theatres into a set. Actors and the audience become part of a live series, experiencing an event spanning 14 episodes on and off the main stage. It offers a unique comfort akin to binge-watching. Actors serve your meal during scenes involving allegations of corruption, elections, debates, news, crises, and love. And whenever you wish, you can change your seating or take a walk outside.
