THEATRE: Ludd & Wigg
On June 8 and 9 at Literaturhaus, two comedians join forces in this new piece of modern drama written and directed by Stuart Lynch, who until recently was the headteacher at KFTS. We encounter an unlikely pair of post-Tinder, sex-convenient individuals forced into companionship due to a zombie apocalypse.

RESTAURANT: StudioStudio
A rare six hearts from Politiken. Its sweeping review praises the impressive dishes, “thunderously good ingredients”, service, acoustics, toilets and even the music – a “meticulously curated playlist”, by all accounts.

DRINKS: Raw Wine Copenhagen
The world’s biggest natural wine fair is coming to Copenhagen on Sunday June 11. Star winemakers and 200 producers will be present.

MUSICAL: Mr X
Inspired by actual events, Mr X takes the audience on a musical journey of dark humour. Mental health issues and workplace burnout take centre stage in a play that gives the audience food for thought. Performances from June 8-10 at AFUK, the show is one of our CPH STAGE selections.

BALLET: Moderne på Panto
A collection of three new pieces blends into the set of Tivoli’s Pantomime Theatre. The Copenhagen Post awarded the whole show five stars, signalling out La Rencontre’ as the standout, observing: “The inter-relationship of the quartet, among themselves and with the audience was both interesting and well exploited.”

ART: Talisman
In her project ‘Talisman‘, Kristina Knipe – one of the CPH Photo Festival headliners – constructs identity through mythology in queer communities in New Orleans. This work examines material and visual excess created by decadence, subterfuge and healing.
