IPAF is back with its 2024 edition taking place 14th – 17th March 2024.

IPAF is a biannual international performance festival. The festival is an extension of Warehouse9’s focus to support LGBTQIA+ artists and cultural practitioners practice. The festival supports development opportunities, live performance encounters, and creates spaces for dialogue and gatherings.

The Festival unfolds across the city of Copenhagen and presents genre-blurring work that engages with identity politics, sexual expressions and body representations. The Festival is based on the belief that performance can provide different perspectives and ways to understand reality, inspire collective imagining and advocate for better and more just futures.

IPAF creates spaces for gathering around live work made by queer artists. Spaces that celebrate learning, risk taking and embrace failure. Spaces for artists and audiences to meet. Spaces that hold artist-, audience-, and collective-care at the heart of the festival.
