FREE ADMISSION

ABOUT THE EVENT

“KARA-ORC-EE” is open and accessible to everyone.

On this evening, the Orcs and Others tavern transforms into an Open KARA-ORC-EE night, where anyone can grab the microphone! The audience is free to request any song they like, with one requirement: you must “orcify” it yourself – think “We Will Orc You”, “Orcs Just Wanna Have Fun”, “Just a Smalltown Orc”, “Don’t You Wish Your Girlfriend Was an Orc Like Me”, “Total Eclipse of the Orc”, “It’s Raining Orcs” and so on – the list is endless. How you choose to orcify your number is entirely up to you.

Orcs & Others is a total installation by Kristoffer Akselbo, transforming the basement bar of Husets Teater into a living LARP world inhabited by six orc-like bartenders. Throughout the biennial period, the performers follow simple behavioral loops—serving, sweeping, playing games—so that everyday actions drift into fantasy. Guests step into a space where fiction bleeds into reality, and on special evenings, new characters will appear through short guest performances. A strange, playful ecosystem unfolds beneath the theatre, open to anyone willing to enter.

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.
