About this event
For eight days the city hands its pavements over to international street theatre. Companies from across Europe bring acrobatics, puppetry, absurd comedy and quietly intimate outdoor pieces to squares in six Copenhagen districts, staged where people already live rather than in a ticketed venue. Programmes shift neighbourhood by neighbourhood, so the same afternoon can hold a spectacle and something very small.
Why we picked it
Copenhagen's biggest genuinely free performing-arts week, spread deliberately into outer neighbourhoods rather than the tourist centre.
Free entry
Free and open to all; the City of Copenhagen states the festival is gratis for children and accompanying adults.
