Miss Margherita
Flour dust rises, tomatoes roll, dough stretches in the air. Out of this kitchen chaos steps Miss Margherita: part clown, part cook, part storyteller. With a rolling pin in one hand and a yellow bicycle at her side, she spins recipes into confessions, juggling ingredients as easily as memories.
Miss Margherita is a tragicomic performance that turns the making of pizza into theatre. Through acrobatics, juggling, physical theatre and comic timing, Jessica Arpin creates a character who is both absurd and deeply human. The stage becomes her kitchen, but also her diary: a place where recipes mingle with stories of misfortune, longing and love.
Without heavy words, Miss Margherita carries audiences into her world, where laughter and fragility coexist in a way that feels at once intimate and larger than life.
Passage XTRA
In the week following the Passage Festival, we collaborate with various partners in Fredensborg, Nivå, and Helsingør to present a series of street theatre performances. Some will be familiar to festival audiences, while others are completely new. All of them offer more street theatre and enjoyable experiences for the whole family. See below which performances you can experience and where.

Vapnagaard
Hovmarken 7 | Helsingør
The Passage Festival‘s collaboration with Vapnagaard is certainly nothing new. However, since the city’s daycare centres and after-school clubs are closed during the festival week, Vapnagaard and Kulturhus Syd once again invite audiences to enjoy street theatre the following week.
That way, no children miss out—and everyone is welcome!
