ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

Adam Christensen is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans performance, music, and textile installation, blurring the boundaries between everyday life and fiction. Drawing on his immediate experiences—colored by the theatricality of the everyday, the spectacle of domesticity, chance encounters, and emotional and physical dramas—Christensen conveys these moments through his performances.

A central focus of his practice is the construction and representation of space and the unfolding narratives of heartbreak, desire, memory, and identity. He creates a kind of ‘stage’ from which he interacts with the audience and reshapes the narrative, often by singing with the accordion and reading short stories, adding layers to the story in a process of continuous development.

TOASTER PERFORMANCE BIENNALE

In April 2026, Toaster presents Denmark’s first international performance biennale, taking place across Den Frie and Husets Teater.

The biennale offers a current portrait of the performance field within both visual art and performing arts – and the many intersections between them – which are rapidly evolving nationally as well as internationally. The focus is state of the art: taking the temperature of the field right now.

Experience more than 20 performances, including 10 entirely new works created specifically for the biennial. The artists range from established performance practitioners to emerging talents – sometimes within the same work.

The programme encompasses works rooted in dance, text, costume, sound, light, music, and space. Performance is here and now – it is the time we live in, and the time we choose to spend together.
