About

Toaster is a collaboration between Husets Teater and Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art in Copenhagen. Each year, Toaster curates a program comprising companies and visual and stage artists from Denmark and abroad who experiment with formats and contribute to the development of the performance art field in Denmark.

Performance for the near future
Toaster is a platform for unique interdisciplinary experiments, where conventional thinking and tradition are challenged in favour of new formats and audience encounters. Toaster aims to change the way audiences go to the theatre and to exhibitions by making them curious about what they do not immediately recognize, and by reshaping their expectations of the art experience itself.

A home for artists
Toaster is both a home and a driving force for art at the crossroads of theatre, performance, and the visual arts, where artists have great artistic freedom in realizing their works.
Toaster will revitalize the spaces and opportunities for art through the curation of a program in which a series of performances, talks, workshops, and seminars focus on interdisciplinary experiments and knowledge sharing.

International work
Toaster promotes increased internationalization by re-establishing Copenhagen as part of the flow of international guest performances and by fostering networking between self-producing groups, collaborative scenes, and art institutions abroad.
