This autumn is under a colourful spell! Enjoy this week's events!
Habengut – a journey of invention
A highly visual play with limited dialogue, Habengut is suitable for children of all nationalities. Set in the household of an inventor, a family argument leads to the patriarch of the household, Professor Habengut, leaving his wife and trusty robot, Putigut, to travel back to the Stone Age – the perfect era for an inventor to stumble upon, you would imagine. “It’s a funny, poetic and very visual piece,” the Ugandan-Russian co-creator and animation director, Luba Lynch, told InOut. “It’s a great way for children to learn that there is no such thing as a ‘bad’ idea, and that all ideas can be developed.” Invention workshops will follow the second show from Wednesday-Friday during the autumn half-term, while the venue is also open for shows on Culture Night at 17:00 and 18:30.

Loona nights
Dansehallerne will open up its foyer space to experimental and new artists. In such a bare, raw framework, anything can happen. See the dancers express something they are passionate about on the stage. There will be ten short performances, each comprising ten minutes. The evening will be informal, giving audience members the opportunity to give the dancers feedback after the performances. There are two Loona Nights scheduled for March and June 2013 if you miss out this time.
