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.

‘A Beautiful Life‘, a Danish musical drama starring established pop singer Christopher, debuted on Netflix on June 1. In what is his cinematic debut, Christopher plays a young fisherman with an extraordinary voice who gets the chance of a lifetime when he is discovered. Ian Burns, the founder of That Theatre Company, features as the host of a TV program that Christopher appears on during his rise to stardom.

TV: Tour de France: Unchained
This English-language Netflix series – coming out on June 8 – follows several cycling teams through both the tears and triumphs as they compete for first place in the world’s toughest cycling race, the Tour de France, in 2022. Expect winner Jonas Vingegaard and his outfit Team Jumbo-Visma to feature prominently.
