A production of Tove Ditlevsen's 'Copenhagen Trilogy' is being staged at Malmö City Theatre. According to reports, the production in Malmö has kept audiences seated, unlike a previous staging in Berlin where audiences reportedly left in protest. The Malmö production, directed by Tom Silkeberg, is described as taking a refreshing approach with a form of explicit literarization of the play itself.

Anja Suša, a professor of theatre direction, reportedly uses the production as a prime example of possibilities in scenic staging, with innovative, gestural scenes transforming Ditlevsen's autofictional trilogy into physical forms. The ensemble reportedly portrays Tove's experiences, such as her first childbirth, with alienation and physical manipulation.
