Mellemrum Festival: The City as a Stage

If you are in Copenhagen the coming two weekends, you have a chance to experience the excellent Mellemrum micro-festival dedicated to reviving known, hidden and forgotten aspects of the city.

Mellemrum (translates to 'in between space'/'gap') is comprised of 3 sensorial walking-tours (Mellemrum 1-3) in the inner city, each of which includes 3 site-specific performances at different parts of the route. The tour takes two hours and details about the route as well as the performances are kept secret beforehand.

The absolute highlight of Mellemrum 1 was a brilliant conceptual performance by dancer and choreographer Erik Pold, who welcomed the audience in a building at Kultorvet, one of Copenhagen's busiest squares and pedestrian zones.

Inside, audience were seated in rows facing a street window covered with a red curtain. After a brief introduction underlying music faded in and the curtain was pulled, thereby transforming the square outside into a cinematic stage and the people into cast members in a story loosely directed by Erik, who himself - wearing a microphone - went outside to interact with people passing by.

The two other captivating performances in Mellemrum 1 took place in an underground parking lot and on a rooftop with the audience watching from a chemistry-lab on the opposite side of the street.
