That time in our lives when everything is wrong

All That is Wrong

Springfestival assembles world-class theater for children from all over the world. But this year, unpredictable performance art collective Ontroerend Goed and multisensory children's theatre company Laika will perform a work at the festival that's recommended for those older than 16.

All That is Wrong deals with the modern coming of age. In the first two, performer Koba Ryckewaert was a child. But now she is 18… with all of the worries that come with growing up. It's easier not to talk about them, though. 

Instead, she writes about them – on the floor and walls of the theatre. Experience the end of childhood for yourself, live.

    Internationals in Denmark rarely join a trade union

    Internationals are overrepresented in the lowest-paid fields of agriculture, transport, cleaning, hotels and restaurants, and construction – industries that classically lack collective agreements. A new analysis from the Workers’ Union’s Business Council suggests that internationals rarely join trade unions – but if they did, it would generate better industry standards.
