A participatory, unmasked, direct performance!
Based on improvisation, and just as a painter does, Ox Maló portrays persons from the audience individually, improvising a poem with his typewriter and offers the poem as a present to the person portrayed.
Meanwhile, musician Aron Hollinger portrays the person with a spontaneous piece of music, all this creating a unique experience that includes the audience as part of the process of creating an itinerant mirror in a unique and unrepeatable moment.
INFO
Duration: Ox Malo continuously creates his portraits throughout the scheduled time slots.
Language: non-verbal, resulting in a poem written in English

Two characters arrive, with a lifeboat, prepared for the day of the final flood.
Climate change will cause torrential rains, melting glaciers and an inevitable rise in sea level that will cover everything. The countdown has begun! They take the boat and prepare for the worst.
They will have to wait, and the wait will not be easy. The difficulties will reveal personalities, fears, grief and pain, but also the importance of friendship, and how joy helps to overcome difficulties and how humor is, many times, the best lifesaver.
The great flood has arrived… or has it?

“Naïf” the clown rolls into the streets with his wagon. His is searching – and when he finds the right place, he creates a special performance in a delightful blend of improvised clown, circus, ceramics, music, painting and theatre.
Rooted in the pure essence of clowning, and through simple actions, small stories and everyday objects, he creates unique, unrepeatable moments and transforms the audience’s gaze into a kinder, more conscious way of seeing.
A playful and confusing performance, where it’s never clear if mistakes are real or part of the show.

Everybody can join when Gerlev Centre for Play & Movement activates their playground with classic games from all over the world games.
The games are for anyone: children, young people, adults and elderly!
The playground is up and running for 2,5 hours.
Concorda revolves around the rope as a living metaphor for human relationships.
It binds, releases, and embraces – sometimes gently, sometimes with force.
Through dynamic tensions and balancing acts, a sensory encounter arises between body, weight, and counterweight.
The rope vibrates, and movement spreads like an invisible energy between performer and audience.
A poetic and physical universe, where connections emerge and transform.

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.

OBS! The show is sold out. But come by anyways, there are still space to stand and watch or maybe sit on the grass.
Grand Danois is a breathtaking, anarchistic circus performance that uses acrobatics, music, and humor to question our ideas of freedom and the pursuit of wealth.
We meet a ragged and somewhat dysfunctional circus company living life on the road – a life filled with the scent of sawdust and popcorn, where home is wherever their old circus wagon, Lotte, ends up in a ditch for the night.
Their dream is to restore the grandeur of the circus and travel the world to meet applause and admiration. But is the journey just as important as the destination? And what is the true cost of freedom and community?
