Two children live together: one defiant and troublesome, the other obedient and rarely disruptive. One is called the Shadow Child, the other the Light Child. The Shadow Child, who is never allowed to join in, summons all the monsters of the night to scare the Light Child and, in doing so, claim their own place. But can you always believe what you see?
The Shadow Child is based on the Danish author Cecilie Eken’s children’s book Mørkebarnet, a critically acclaimed thriller that was awarded the Danish Ministry of Culture’s Author Prize.
