Time to Listen

The Royal Danish Theatre and Roskilde Festival present a four-days-long mini festival at Ofelia Plads, full of art, music, dance, talks and more.

Four events – with the titles ’Time to Activate’, ’Time to Listen’, ’Time to Space Out’ and ’Time to Celebrate’ – take place in the period 17 - 20 May.

Everything takes place in a spectacular live setting at Ofelia Plads in Copenhagen. Here you’ll find a work of art by English artist Martin Creed – a large rotating neon sign with the wording ‘understanding’. And understanding is precisely what all events will examine.

'Time to Listen' takes place on 18 May between 16:30 and 19:00 and focuses on how we create an understanding when we are listening – and how we can create spaces to listen in new ways. We invite you to a meditative and educational afternoon when innovative artists from the Danish growth layer enter into dialogue with a former tonmeister at the Royal Danish Theatre to create situations that have not been heard before. The event is in Danish.

Look forward to meet:
