October Performance: After some reflection, an evening well spent

Don your most fashionable sunglasses and roll up your sleeves for a night of blinking, flashing and tinkering at the second annual Reflektor Light Festival.

Søndermarken park will host ten experimental light exhibitions, where artists and engineers will be illuminating the night with little regard for norms and regularity. Pieces will be new, malleable and undoubtedly breathtaking.

Tours, walks and creation stations encourage you to play alongside the professionals, affecting the space in new ways.

Artists behind such works as The Wave waterfront walkway will be featured, with all of them converging on the park in early October. (NM).

    Internationals in Denmark rarely join a trade union
