Queer City Cinema: screening 2 + performance & artist talk
2026-04-10 19:00 - 22:30 (Europe/Copenhagen) | Warehouse9, Rosenlunds Allé 5, Baghuset, Copenhagen, 2720, Denmark
Warehouse9 presents Queer City Cinema – a curated artfilm programme by Gary Varro (CA).
For two nights at Warehouse9, we are presenting a film and performance art programme by Queer and QTIBPOC artists that explore, question and play with notions of identity and utilize queer artistic expression to propose and investigate diverse ways of looking at sexuality, gender, race and film and performance art itself.
Queer City Cinema at Warehouse9 is part of the international Qaleidoscope tour – Nordic 2026 that presents films and performances that collide in fantastical, personal, and playful ways in an ever changing, multi-faceted film and performance art viewing experience.
Some films will focus on image, sound and abstract narratives; others present information, facts, and queerforward realities; while others share the pleasure and pain of individual and collective identities.
Refractive content includes experimental and artistically rigorous films as well as heavy-hitting and thoughtful topics such as feminism, race, racism, fat activism, class, colonization, crip arts, politics, religion, violence, HIV/AIDS, gender and of course sexuality – all provided for their role in engendering awareness and insight on many levels.

FRIDAY, APRIL 10
19.00 – 21.00:
Lou Sheppard Performance and Artist Talk
(Artist talk at 19:00, performance at 20:00)
Crepuscular Rhythms is an ongoing participatory performance by Lou Sheppard that explores dusk as a queer time of day. Together we will create large scale cyanotype prints of our bodies which will then become a record of queer exposure in the half light at end of day. While we collectively engage in this act of queer exposure, Lou will lead a conversation about queer visibility, resistance, and queer futurity, interwoven with texts and reflections from queer elders.

THURSDAY, APRIL 9
19.00 – 19.40:

Performance installation by Jo Dahlbäck and Petros Mandalos:

Pickle Bar – A performance installation about memory and preservation.

Meet pickle sisters Pickle-Petros and Pickle-Jo in this homely bar performance about preservation and memory and the weird way stories survive over time. In a cozy community bar, you’re welcome to have a chat and a shot, eat a pickle, share a memory and play minigames. You can come and go as you like, and return for more. The bar is a space for deep conversations and silliness; the pickles are carriers of memory, but aren’t they also just curious to look at?

The pickle bar is an intersection for our artistic research. Petros is interrogating trauma as an atmospheric condition and the role of necropolitics in shaping contemporary identity archives. Jo is working with objects holding memory, like portals between different times, and looking at ways to perform queer timelines, both in relation to past, future, and fictional times.
In collaboration with Malmö Theatre Academy as part of their study program at the MA Performing Arts as Critical Practice.

ABOUT JO DAHLBÄCK & PETROS MANDALOS
Jo Dahlbäck is a theatre maker, scenographer and costume designer based in Stockholm/Berlin, working in theatre and performing arts. Their practice is rooted in queer methodologies and collective processes, exploring how performance can challenge power structures and social norms. They are particularly interested in challenging normative understandings of time by proposing ecological and queer temporalities.

Petros Mandalos is a theatre-maker, writer, and interdisciplinary artist whose work unfolds through queer perspectives on performance, memory, and resistance. Moving between theatre, visual storytelling, and installation, he creates hybrid forms that expose the cracks between the private and the political.
Queer City Cinema is funded by Canada Council For the Arts.
Warehouse9 is supported by Statens Kunstfond, Københavns Kommune, and Vanløse Lokaludvalg.

MANEATER Artist Talk: Hazem Header and Niels Bjørn
2026-03-22 18:00 - 19:00 (Europe/Copenhagen) | Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27, Copenhagen, 1799
Following the performance of Hazem Header’s MANEATER on 22.03.2026, he will participate in an artist talk with Warehouse9 board member, Niels Bjørn about Queer Art in Egypt.

Hazem Header is an Egyptian contemporary dancer and choreographer. In 2021, he founded the Breaking Walls Dance Film Festival, Egypt’s and the region’s first dance film festival. Prior to that in 2017, Hazem launched the Breaking Walls Festival, Cairo’s first international festival for site-specific performances. Previously, he combined his passion for movement and artistry to create NÜT Dance Company-NDC in 2013, a legally recognized entity in Cairo that produces dance performances and cultural events.
Hazem has gained international recognition for his contributions to contemporary performing arts. He was selected in 2021 as a member of the IETM/International Network for Contemporary Performing Arts’ Global Connectors program and, in 2024, was elected to the IETM Advisory Committee for a three-year term. Hazem earned a Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education, with a focus on personal training, biomechanics, and kinesiology. He also studied at the governmental center, Cairo Contemporary Dance Centre (CCDC) at the Cairo Opera House.

Niels Bjørn just finished editing a 3-part podcast series about queer life in Egypt. Niels Bjørn travelled in Egypt, collecting stories from LGBT+ people, and in this process, Hazem Header was very helpful in connecting Niels Bjørn with Egyptian LGBT+people. The podcast series documents the hardships these groups face in a country that – despite its long queer history – now puts effort into tracking down, persecuting and punishing LGBT+people. The podcast series will launch in April or May as one of the stories in the new LGBT+podcast “Ufortalt” (Untold). Niels Bjørn founded “Ufortalt” with two other queer radio professionals and podcasters. Also, Niels Bjørn has a background in film and tv, has worked as a programmer for Copenhagen Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, as Communications Manager for World Outgames in Copenhagen, and now works as an urbanist, writer and podcaster.

IPAF presents: Hazem Header: MANEATER
Performing to the evocative old songs of Egyptian Singers and composed tracks of Egyptian Politicians’ speeches; A Solo dancer exposes the fractured and toxic relationship of Egypt and its rulers, politicians and Egyptian people as he delves into the complexity of his love for Egypt in an attempt to reconcile patriotism with disillusionment, and light of hope with darkness of oppression.
It shines a light on his deep rooted connection to his memory of The Egyptian revolution and suggests the power of what hope may do. Poetic and passionate, MANEATER… has an intricate physicality, Egyptian folk dance and is unashamedly romantic in its celebration of loving Egypt.
Egypt is reuniting on stage with some of her most infamous former lovers. Together, they relive past romances, replay tender moments, and whisper the sweet nothings they once shared – before it all, inevitably, turned toxic and fell apart.

Artist talk:
Following the performance on Sunday 22 March, Hazem Header will have a dialogue with Warehouse9 board member, Niels Bjørn, about queer performance in Egypt.

Charlie Laban Trier: who wears who?
2026-03-22 12:30 - 16:00 (Europe/Copenhagen) | Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27, Copenhagen, 1799
As a way to discuss/converse with image-making, but also slipping out of the image, we will in this workshop enter a practice with outfits/costumes as our Dance-partners. Outfits as a shaper/shapeshifter of our performativity, outfits as extra limbs, outfits as a surface or a shield. But also outfits as an agency – the Wearer. It’s a practice where “I-object and you-object” search for the intimate ways we impact each other’s movements through spaces.

We will first spend some time encountering the item and then ourselves. We will get into their sounds, textures, weight, and begin to feel how they dance. We will then start practicing duetting with this fabric-body – firstly through entering a more stereotypical relationship, where we as fleshy bodies wear the outfit, and consider them as our attributes/accessories in the dance. But slowly we will attempt to morph/shift and try to follow them – let them wear us instead, and take us on a ride.
We will also dance for each other’s outfits, and we maybe, if we feel like it, change dress. We’ll interlude the movement practices by adding some connected writing practices into the mix.
Elements of this workshop draw from practices from Charlie’s current performance project shown here under IPAF – Surfacing HypoKrisia.
Participants should bring a pen, notebook, or whichever tools you prefer for writing, clothes you wanna dance in, plus a clothing-item you have an affinity with.
When and where is the workshop held?
The workshop is held at 22 March 2026, 12.30 – 16.00 at Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27, DK-1799 Copenhagen V.
We kindly ask you to arrive 15 minutes prior to class in time for check-in with the QR code on your ticket.
Who can attend?
This workshop welcomes everybody who wants to play and be danced – no prior specific training or experience is required to participate. We’ll try to learn together and work with attention to each other.
Accessibility:
Dansehallerne has an elevator with step-free access to all floors. Accessible and gender-neutral toilets and wardrobes are available on the ground floor.
About the artist:
Charlie Laban Trier (b. 1987, dk) is a performing artist who chooses to situate his practice deep within the realm of dance, though the dances often appear through other forms such as; bottom-barrel yells turned into songs, text-sampling, endlessly becoming costume, carrying/caring for screens, extreme sculptural headbanging and more. He sees dance as inherently messy, slippery and emergent – a form of knowledge that resists legibility. Living as a transperson, is a big teacher in his thinking/approach to work. Charlie thinks of transness, like dance, as a technology that helps him complicate material. It allows for embodying multiple images, seducing viewers, and shifting fluidly between forms. He is currently investigating practices of collective myth-making, wanting to foster conversations that resist fixed meaning and invite a dis-positioning of the hero/center-stage.

Lucy McCormick: Lucy & Friends

IPAF presents: Lucy McCormick: Lucy & Friends
Lucy McCormick is back with her most ambitious medium-concept queer cabaret spectacular. In a despairing world, Lucy attempts to create community and connection the only way she knows how- through a chaotic mix of pole dancing, cat impersonation, a clairvoyant and some quick re-working of social policy.
A master of theatrical manipulation and crushing personal vulnerability, Lucy leaves her audiences needing a hug, a cry and an immediate shower.

About The Artist:
Lucy McCormick makes nightclub interruptions, cabaret interventions and extravaganza theatre shows, marrying interests in absurdity, ego and the grotesque. Her practice is cross-genre, taking inspiration from theatre, performance art, comedy and dance. Her breakout show, Triple Threat, reimagines the New Testament as a dance-pop spectacle, which has toured globally to over 30 venues. Her later works Post Popular, Life: LIVE! and Lucy & Friends, explore feminism, identity and vulnerability through excess, intimacy and irreverence. A Research Fellow at Queen Mary University and Associate Artist at Soho Theatre, Lucy also works as an an actor and has performed at the National Theatre, Royal Court, Globe and RSC.

Eve Stainton: The Joystick and The Reins
2026-03-21 19:00 - 20:00, 2026-03-20 19:00 - 20:00, 2026-03-19 20:00 - 21:00 (Europe/Copenhagen) | Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27, Copenhagen, 1799
IPAF presents: Eve Stainton: The Joystick and The Reins
Artist and choreographer Eve Stainton presents their new choreographic performance, The Joystick and The Reins, accompanied by Ennio Morricone’s haunting score for The Thing (1982).
The Joystick and The Reins explores who is deemed to be, and those who decide what constitutes a ‘threat’ within society, exploring how marginalised groups have been instrumentalised through systems of oppression and authoritarianism.
Cycling through hyper-emotional states of intensity that never arrive at a fixed point, the solo figure and the scene itself become a site for the audience’s own projections. Referencing ideas of power, dominance, perpetrator, victim, threat and interpretation.
Influences for The Joystick and The Reins include historical reenactments, police and riot arrest imagery, and 1980s ‘Crime Watch’ episodes, examining what it means to reconstruct a theatrical scene that draws on truth, and how societal constructs keep people ‘at risk’ of incarceration in a place of vulnerability.
Morricone’s powerful music finds resonance with Stainton’s mutual exploration of societal suspicion, psychological horror, and the devastating potential of individual isolation.

About the Artist:
Eve Stainton is an artist and choreographer born in Manchester and living in London, UK. They create multi-disciplinary performances that involve movement practices, welded steel/live welding, digital collage, and other invisible forces like drama and suspense. Their research is rooted in community, interested in how differently marginalised people experience and come into relationship with power structures and societal conventions. Often working with codes or tropes of gender, class and threat, revealing ‘behind the scenes’ mechanisms of working together to show a kind of reality that isn’t seamless.
Notable presentations include: ICA (UK), Tramway (UK), Venice Biennale performance programme in collaboration with Florence Peake (IT), Dansehallerne (DK), Block Universe (UK), Dampfzentrale (CH), Donaufestival (AT), My Wild Flag (SE), Le Guess Who? (NL), Bergen Kunsthall (NO), Bozar (BE), Nottingham Contemporary (UK), Crac Occitanie (FR), LCMF (UK), CCA Glasgow (UK), Tangente (CA), Audra Festival (LT), Rouyn-Noranda Biennale (CA), The Mount Without (UK).

Alex Franz Zehetbauer: bonappétitsixsixsix
2026-03-21 15:30 - 16:30, 2026-03-20 17:00 - 18:00 (Europe/Copenhagen) | Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27, Copenhagen, 1799
IPAF presents: Alex Franz Zehetbauer: bonappétitsixsixsix
In bonappétitsixsixsix, performance artist and singer songwriter, Alex Franz Zehetbauer slips into the jester’s skin—a figure with the ancient privilege to say and do anything without punishment: a.k.a. speak the truth a.k.a follow every impulse. A jester is never bound to a stage but to the social body itself. He digests the world and spits it back out (from one end or the other). This excrement is then presented to the audience as art. With a hint of something diabolical, the fool has arrived to entertain.
Spit roasted by hydrophones and accompanied by the soothing strumming of his lyre, he turns his entire body into a leaking instrument for his heartfelt songs.
bonappétitsixsixsix embraces the jester’s capacity to create friction rather than consensus, to transform social tension into performance. No one is safe: corrupt rulers, slimy curators, or daydreaming spectators may all find themselves ankle-deep on his shit list. But don’t run away. When the shit hits the fan you’ll be gagging for more.
And most importantly, you wouldn’t want to miss dinner…or become it.

About the Artist:
Alex Franz Zehetbauer (b. 1990, Brooklyn) is an artist and singer songwriter working at the intersection of performance, music, visual arts and choreography. In his performances, he beguiles with sophisticated melodies, strange vocal escapades and unexpected twists.

Eve Stainton: Choreographing Suspense
2026-03-21 10:30 - 12:30 (Europe/London) | Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27, Copenhagen, 1799
During this workshop we will be researching how atmospheres of suspense can be choreographed between people, and how suspense can be worked with as a physical state in the body.
Through guided movement practices, participants will cultivate heightened bodily perception, working with time-based approaches such as hyper–slow motion and the deliberate stretching or “eeking out” of actions.
Movement work will be introduced like practical tasks. Participants will work individually, in pairs and in small groups; some tasks may involve touch, with all material adaptable to individual needs and boundaries. No previous dance training is necessary.
Elements of this workshop draw on Eve’s current performance project The Joystick and The Reins, presented as part of IPAF this year.

When and where is the workshop held?
The workshop is held at 21 March 2026, 10.30 am – 12:30 pm at Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27, DK-1799 Copenhagen V.
We kindly ask you to arrive 15 minutes prior to class in time for check-in with the QR code on your ticket.
Who can attend?
This all-levels workshop is open to professional dancers and movers from all artistic backgrounds, as well as dance and theater enthusiasts who are curious to explore contemporary dance and physical theater for the first time.
Accessibility:
Dansehallerne has an elevator with step-free access to all floors. Accessible and gender-neutral toilets and wardrobes are available on the ground floor.
About the artist:
Eve Stainton is a Manchester-born artist and choreographer based in London. They create multidisciplinary performances using movement, live manual labour, live sound, and suspense building. Rooted in community, their research examines how marginalised people relate to power structures and societal conventions. Working with codes of gender, masculinity, class and threat, the work stages clunky physical negotiations, exposing behind-the-scenes collaboration and how narratives of threat shape trans-masc people and working-class cis men’s lives.

Hazem Header: Egyptian-izing your movement
2026-03-20 12:30 - 16:30 (Europe/London) | Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27, Copenhagen, 1799
In this workshop, Egyptian choreographer Hazem Header will introduce a range of contemporary dance and physical theater improvisation frameworks. Participants will leave with a robust set of exercises, games, and scores to support the creation of their own choreography and performances.
The workshop explores multiple choreographic approaches and creative methods for contemporary dance and physical theater, while also focusing on “Egyptian-izing” creative impulses—drawing from cultural memory, rhythm, and embodied storytelling.
Participants should bring paper, pens, and comfortable clothing.

Charlie Laban Trier: Surfacing HypoKrisia
2026-03-19 18:00 - 19:00 (Europe/Copenhagen) | Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27, Copenhagen, 1799
IPAF presents: Charlie Laban Trier: Surfacing HypoKrisia
Surfacing HypoKrisia is a series of performative efforts and spells to invoke manifestations of a speculative, trans-mythic figure. Her name is HypoKrisia. She’s a figment of Charlie’s fantasy – imagined as the forgotten little sister of Tiresias, the blind prophet from Greek mythology. The performance embarks on a journey researching resilience through the guidance of her.
According to the myth, Tiresias sees two snakes in a mating spiral. He is disgusted by the sight of something he does not understand and strikes the female snake. Because of this action, Hera, Zeus’ wife, transforms him into a woman.
Both Tiresias and HypoKrisia could be read as trans figures, but HypoKrisia resists a full becoming. She insists on the liminal space and chooses to live in a performative state of “half un-done.”
In this imaginary myth she is deemed unworthy and dangerous by society and therefore erased from the stories. She’s the embodiment of the snake: smooth, elusive, and constantly on the verge of shedding skin.
The wish is to summon her from the depths, because she has been held down beneath the surface for far too long. But in this act, friction is inevitable; it’s not smooth sailing to bring forth what has been forgotten or perhaps never existed. It is like reaching through a portal to a time we cannot reach—and what emerges may be unknown and difficult to face.
In this dance-piece the audience is taken into a mythological spin, where we no longer know who are speaking through whom. We’ll meet a lonesome character, but there’s another presence hiding deep under. The boy attempts to invoke her, he speaks in/with multiple tongues.
The pursuit is to dance with her; a dance-duet leading perhaps to a momentary take-over of his body. In this complicated partnership, he tries to follow the laws of the trickster and together they embrace total pretense. Their tool-box is filled with contradictory disagreement, faking and mimicry.

About the Artist:
Charlie Laban Trier (b. 1987, dk) is a performing artist who chooses to situate his practice deep within the realm of dance, though the dances often appear through other forms such as; bottom-barrel yells turned into songs, text-sampling, endlessly becoming costume, carrying/caring for screens, extreme sculptural headbanging and more. He sees dance as inherently messy, slippery and emergent – a form of knowledge that resists legibility.
Living as a transperson, is a big teacher in his thinking/approach to work. Charlie thinks of transness, like dance, as a technology that helps him complicate material. It allows for embodying multiple images, seducing viewers, and shifting fluidly between forms.
He is currently investigating practices of collective myth-making, wanting to foster conversations that resist fixed meaning and invite a dis-positioning of the hero/center-stage.

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.

In-process performance sharing: H0LE AGAIN by Beck Heiberg, Anna Näsström and Asta Norborg
2026-03-05 17:30 - 18:30 (Europe/Copenhagen) | Warehouse9, Rosenlunds Allé 5, Baghuset, Copenhagen, 2720, Denmark
H0LE AGAIN is exploring the intersection of the hole and the whole, examining our inherent obsession with filling holes—physically, emotionally, and sexually. By being in a hole and by embodying holes we are asking why there is a need to feel complete? Can the hole and whole co-exist without erasing the other and we question if wholeness first arises when the hole is filled?
In this in-process sharing, Beck and Anna are incorporating their musical journey and landscape together with music producer Asta Norborg as well as focusing on the projections and streaming of the piece. This will be a showing where we invite you to stay for a small talk afterwards where we would value your thoughts on the experience.
Entrance: Free, with sign-up
Time: 05.03.2026, 17.30 – 18.30
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Beck Heiberg and Anna Näsström are artists in residence at Warehouse9 from 23.02 – 07.03.2026. They will participate in IPAF 2026 with an artist talk, reflecting on their artistic process and residency period. More info to come.
Beck Heiberg is a choreographer and performer based between Copenhagen and Berlin. He has a BA in Theatre and Performance Studies from University of Copenhagen and is furthermore educated at Juste Debout School in Paris, France and Hotstepper Studio in Copenhagen, Denmark. Beck is investigating queer- and transpolitical aesthetics as both an explicit and implicit part of his praxis. He works in a broad field of theatre and performance, but his own original work derives from building concepts up around movement and is often related to personal experiences. Beck is a member of Dance Cooperative – a platform and workspace for intersectional feminist and artistic choreographic practices in Copenhagen.
Anna Näsström is a choreographer and danceartist based in Malmö while also working inter/nationally. She has a foundation in dance and performance with an education from the Stockholm University of the Arts and studies in New York. Her artistic practice takes place at the meeting point between dance, technology and ethnography and moves between different contexts, movement languages and dance cultures. Her practice is informed by waves of club culture, transdisciplinarity and worldbuilding amongst other things.
Asta Norborg is a composer, multimedia artist and curator based between Malmö and Copenhagen. She holds a bachelor of composition from the Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg and has also studied at the Danish Institute of Electronic Music in Aarhus. She performs solo and DJs under the moniker FASCIA and regularly composes for stage art. Astas solo work centers on themes of queer transhumanism, blurring the borders of “organic” and “synthetic”, and explores possibilities of embodiment in electronic music and digital art.
As an independent curator she has run several projects creating space for expanded dialogue on her artistic interests. These include the electronic concert series Kallelse, which ran from 2022 – 2025 before transforming into the workshop festival Threading premiering in 2026, as well as Rendered Voice – Day of Experimental Vocal Music. She also holds the position of curator for the queer cultural scene PAGE 28 and is a core producer of the drag and queer performing arts show Club Mermaid.

Huskunstnerprojekt med Linn og Tone Haldrup Lorenzen
Hvad nu hvis din by var fuld af hemmelige tegn?
Hvad hvis fortovet hviskede historier, og murene blinkede til dig?
Og hvad hvis du selv kunne skifte ham og blive til én, ingen havde mødt før?
8 weekender mellem januar og februar 2026 åbner vi en hemmelig dør midt i Vanløse. Vi starter udenfor, på jagt efter skjulte stemninger, mærkelige detaljer og små ting, som vi kan smugle med tilbage til Warehouse9. Vi samler spor, som kun vi kan se.
Inde i Warehouse9 venter værkstedet. Her bygger vi masker, der ikke ligner nogen andres. Masker der kan være mægtige, smukke, skræmmende eller bare totalt tossede. Masker, der lader os træde ind i andre versioner af os selv, måske en gadehelt, et mytisk væsen eller noget, vi endnu ikke har ord for.
Så går vi ud i byen igen. Nu med masker. Og nu ser gaderne helt anderledes ud. Måske er det fordi vi selv er forvandlet.
Med Linn og Tone som rejsefører bliver hver workshop en tur ind i et fællesskab fyldt med fantasi, frihed og lidt magi.
Om huskunsterprojektet:
Sammen med kunstner- og søster-duoen Linn og Tone Haldrup Lorenzen – begge med lang erfaring i at arbejde med LGBTQIA+ børn og unge, bliver projektet et frirum for kreativitet, leg og udforskning. Her kan børn og unge opleve deres omgivelser på nye måder, føle ejerskab over byens rum og opdage, at de har lov til at sætte deres eget præg på verden omkring dem.

Om kunstnerduoen:
Linn Haldrup Lorenzen (hun/hende) er freelance scenekunstner baseret i København, og uddannet med en Master i Performance (MFA) fra Norwegian Theatre Academy. Hun er tilknyttet performancekollektivet CuntsCollective og arbejder som performer, iscenesætter, konceptudvikler og underviser.
Hendes praksis udforsker brug og ubrugelighed, realitet og fantasi, synlighed og usynlighed – gennem queer perspektiver og med afsæt i personlige erfaringer med kronisk sygdom. I hendes løbende undersøgelsesprojekt Real Princesses omdanner hun prinsessetegninger fra sin barndom til performative masker, der insisterer på at være “ægte prinsesser” – også når de udfordrer normative blik. Værket er præsenteret som workshops og performative installationer ved bl.a. Oslo Intercultural Museum, Oslo Carnival og GenderHut Festival.
Hun har desuden udforsket queer performativitet i samarbejder som Out of the Coffin (IPAF og GenderHouse Festival 2024), den immersive performance ZøvnZaun (TBA Performance Group, 2023) og som dramaturg/medskaber af Avatar Me (Fix&Foxy), et livestreamet 1:1 format, hvor publikum lever gennem andres digitale kroppe.
Tone Haldrup Lorenzen er performer og kunstnerisk leder i CuntsCollective med en decentral, procesbaseret praksis, forankret i sanselighed, stedsspecifik undersøgelse og kollektivt engagement. Hun arbejder med en flerårig research i og omkring badehuse, hvor offentligt og privat, helligt og verdsligt, rituelt og hverdagsligt smelter sammen til nye sanselige og sociale dramaturgier. Hun har arbejdet for en lang række kunstnere, turneret internationalt og kurateret residencies i bl.a. Kina, Brasilien og rundt i Europa.
Som medskabende kunstner og community engagement leader hos HIMHERANDIT Productions arbejder hun med queer synlighed og intergenerationel dialog. Hun har været med til at skabe store, deltagerbaserede projekter som HOME QUEER HOME, der bringer LGBTQIA+ unge og ældre sammen i forestillinger, workshops og offentlige interventioner, og skaber rum for omsorg, repræsentation og kollektivt ejerskab.
Aktuel med sauna-performancen Weeping Men med det finske råbekor Huutajat, samt lead-partner i det fireårige Creative Europe-projekt iCoDaCo, der på tværs af Europa udforsker kollektive, tværæstetiske metoder og skaber stedsspecifikke værker i tæt samspil med lokale kontekster og publikum.

Mellem rum og masker
Huskunstnerprojekt med Linn og Tone Haldrup Lorenzen
Hvad nu hvis din by var fuld af hemmelige tegn?
Hvad hvis fortovet hviskede historier, og murene blinkede til dig?
Og hvad hvis du selv kunne skifte ham og blive til én, ingen havde mødt før?
8 weekender mellem januar og februar 2026 åbner vi en hemmelig dør midt i Vanløse. Vi starter udenfor, på jagt efter skjulte stemninger, mærkelige detaljer og små ting, som vi kan smugle med tilbage til Warehouse9. Vi samler spor, som kun vi kan se.
Inde i Warehouse9 venter værkstedet. Her bygger vi masker, der ikke ligner nogen andres. Masker der kan være mægtige, smukke, skræmmende eller bare totalt tossede. Masker, der lader os træde ind i andre versioner af os selv, måske en gadehelt, et mytisk væsen eller noget, vi endnu ikke har ord for.
Så går vi ud i byen igen. Nu med masker. Og nu ser gaderne helt anderledes ud. Måske er det fordi vi selv er forvandlet.
Med Linn og Tone som rejsefører bliver hver workshop en tur ind i et fællesskab fyldt med fantasi, frihed og lidt magi.
Om huskunsterprojektet:
Sammen med kunstner- og søster-duoen Linn og Tone Haldrup Lorenzen – begge med lang erfaring i at arbejde med LGBTQIA+ børn og unge, bliver projektet et frirum for kreativitet, leg og udforskning. Her kan børn og unge opleve deres omgivelser på nye måder, føle ejerskab over byens rum og opdage, at de har lov til at sætte deres eget præg på verden omkring dem.

Om kunstnerduoen:
Linn Haldrup Lorenzen (hun/hende) er freelance scenekunstner baseret i København, og uddannet med en Master i Performance (MFA) fra Norwegian Theatre Academy. Hun er tilknyttet performancekollektivet CuntsCollective og arbejder som performer, iscenesætter, konceptudvikler og underviser.
Hendes praksis udforsker brug og ubrugelighed, realitet og fantasi, synlighed og usynlighed – gennem queer perspektiver og med afsæt i personlige erfaringer med kronisk sygdom. I hendes løbende undersøgelsesprojekt Real Princesses omdanner hun prinsessetegninger fra sin barndom til performative masker, der insisterer på at være “ægte prinsesser” – også når de udfordrer normative blik. Værket er præsenteret som workshops og performative installationer ved bl.a. Oslo Intercultural Museum, Oslo Carnival og GenderHut Festival.
Hun har desuden udforsket queer performativitet i samarbejder som Out of the Coffin (IPAF og GenderHouse Festival 2024), den immersive performance ZøvnZaun (TBA Performance Group, 2023) og som dramaturg/medskaber af Avatar Me (Fix&Foxy), et livestreamet 1:1 format, hvor publikum lever gennem andres digitale kroppe.
Tone Haldrup Lorenzen er performer og kunstnerisk leder i CuntsCollective med en decentral, procesbaseret praksis, forankret i sanselighed, stedsspecifik undersøgelse og kollektivt engagement. Hun arbejder med en flerårig research i og omkring badehuse, hvor offentligt og privat, helligt og verdsligt, rituelt og hverdagsligt smelter sammen til nye sanselige og sociale dramaturgier. Hun har arbejdet for en lang række kunstnere, turneret internationalt og kurateret residencies i bl.a. Kina, Brasilien og rundt i Europa.
Som medskabende kunstner og community engagement leader hos HIMHERANDIT Productions arbejder hun med queer synlighed og intergenerationel dialog. Hun har været med til at skabe store, deltagerbaserede projekter som HOME QUEER HOME, der bringer LGBTQIA+ unge og ældre sammen i forestillinger, workshops og offentlige interventioner, og skaber rum for omsorg, repræsentation og kollektivt ejerskab.
Aktuel med sauna-performancen Weeping Men med det finske råbekor Huutajat, samt lead-partner i det fireårige Creative Europe-projekt iCoDaCo, der på tværs af Europa udforsker kollektive, tværæstetiske metoder og skaber stedsspecifikke værker i tæt samspil med lokale kontekster og publikum.

In-process performance sharing: MANEATER by Hazem Header
Performing to the evocative old songs of Egyptian Singers and composed tracks of Egyptian Politicians’ speeches; A Solo dancer exposes the fractured and toxic relationship of Egypt and its rulers, politicians and Egyptian people as he delves into the complexity of his love for Egypt in an attempt to reconcile patriotism with disillusionment, and light of hope with darkness of oppression.”. It shines a light on his deep rooted connection to his memory of The Egyptian revolution and suggests the power of what hope may do. Poetic and passionate, MANEATER… has an intricate physicality, Egyptian folk dance and is unashamedly romantic in its celebration of loving Egypt
