IT University, head entrance, Rued Langgaards Vej 7, Ørestad Show map

19:00 – 20:30 // No entrance fee

Fall has come and the darkness with it. I say, why not exploit the darkness instead of mourning the light of summer?
This is exactly what Guerrilla Lighting is about; cutting through darkness with numerous colors, making the night appear as your allie.
The installation is a living piece and only appears when you do. This practically means that the 50 people (maybe you included?) are handed a flashlight and together light up a building and create a temporary light installation.

Show up at the head entrance of the university and take a tour around the exhibition.

If you want to be a part of the installation, you can volunteer at www.lysetsdag.dk

Københavns Musikteater, Kronprinsensgade 7, City Show map

20:00 – 22:00 // entrance 50 Dkk

Københavns Musikteater (Copenhagen Music Theatre) has a broad variety of genres which include both drama and music. It’s located in one of the beautiful protected houses in inner Copenhagen and is worth a visit, if you’re into small stage performances. If you’re curious to visit the theater, check out the performance Drift.

Drift is a two-parted investigation of the human being as a creature controlled by drives – captured between culture and biology.

Drift places itself in the crossfire between human’s biological drives and culturel behaviour. “We civilize ourselves in the morning” as poet Kirsten Hammann put it. Sure thing – but after we have past midday, the drives have messed up the shiny surface. It’s a take over from the inside – a civilization under attack by the inner forces.

The first part of Drift is a solo performed by dancer Kitt Johnson, part two is performed by FORUM HUMANUM and has a scheduled premier in 2013
