IPAF presents: Festival Opening

Join us when Warehouse9’s IPAF Festival officially opens at Dansehallerne!

There will be bubbles, speeches by Warehouse9 co-directors Jørgen Callesen and Emma Castro Møller, and a spoken word performance by Rei Mansa. 

Rei Mansa has been part of Warehouse9 since the beginning and has been performing at several different events such as the Xmas cabarets and other fun stuff.

He has played around with gender expressions, odd costumes and words. 

Today he mostly focuses on spoken word, but still with focus on gender & sexuality with a dash of healthy loathing of capitalism and norms.

He tries to be funny but mostly he’s just an elder-queer who’s tired of the stressful world and would like to be allowed to live in peace and quiet with his partner and cats.

When and where: Thursday 19.03.2026, 5pm – 6pm at Dansehallerne.

Tickets: Free, with sign up. 

Good to know:
Language: English & Danish

IPAF:
IPAF is Warehouse9’s international performance festival. The festival is a vital extension of the organisation’s dedicated work to support and present LGBTQIA+ artists and cultural practitioners. IPAF is a dynamic meeting place that creates opportunities for artistic development, live performances, and facilitates spaces for dialogue and community.

This year, the festival is co-produced with Dansehallerne and presents genre-bending work in Copenhagen that actively engages with identity politics, sexual expressions, and body representations. IPAF is founded on the strong belief that dance and performance can offer new perspectives and understandings of reality, inspire collective imagination, and advocate for better and more just futures.

IPAF is made possible with support from the Dansehallerne, Statens Kunstfond, Københavns Kommune and Vesterbro Lokaludvalg.
