Tage Larsen was born in 1949
in Randers, Denmark. He started at Odin Teatret in 1971 as a
"helping hand' and soon was accepted as an actor. Tired of
travelling theatre life, he took a break in 1974, but returned to
the theatre a year later. He remained with Odin Teatret until 1987
when he started his own group, Yorick Teatret. In the ten years
away from Odin Teatret, Tage also taught at the Nordisk Teater
Skole in Århus and worked as a freelance actor with Teater La
Balance and Cantabile 2. In 1997 he returned to Odin Teatret to be
part of the performance Mythos. He still acts
and directs performances outside Odin Teatret and
gives workshops for actors all over the world. He has
regularly created and directed the main local performance during
Holstebro Festuge (Festive Week) and has directed Madame
Bovary-Downtown with Anna Lica, Yorick (Denmark);
Ali og den forunderlige ånd with emigrants and refugees
(Denmark); The Starry Messenger with Donald
