The Theater
Dansk Rakkerpak is the regional theatre of Næstved municipality in Denmark. Besides hosting local activities such as our international street theatre festival STREET CUT the theatre is touring the globe and all of Denmark. The theatre produces at least two new performances every year. An indoor performance for young audiences and their adults with the use of puppets, animation, music/sound compositions and acting. And an outdoor performance made in a unique international comical physical theater language that appeals to both children and adults. Many of the outdoor performances can be performed indoor as well. In addition, we occasionally produce performances especially for an adult audience.
About the name:
Niels-Peter Kløft and Niels Grønne formed Dansk Rakkerpak in 1994, but they have worked together ever since they met at The Commedia School in Copenhagen in 1983.
“Dansk” means Danish and “Rakkerpak” is an old Nordic slang for ‘undesirable and suspicious groups of travelers. Translated to English it could be: Danish Riff Raff.
