Event details

An open day for all ages that celebrates the connection between life and death, inspired by the Mexican Día de los Muertos tradition. The space is designed as a shared room for remembering, talking and simply being together, with room to laugh and cry side by side.

Performers include live music from Marie-Louise, Martin Nielsen, Pipaluk, Alice Rose and Lago, butoh dance by Isa Maya, poetry ceremony with Charlene Vincent, live video art by Rune Abro, ambient sound and DJ sets by Arnt, a live event by Andy Benz, a talk on life and death by Casper Veda, and face painting by Margit + Aija.

Guests are invited to bring photos, objects, poetry, letters, flowers and candles to honour the people who came before us and those who are no longer with us. Wear your brightest clothes or your favourite costume, and bring family and friends, both living and departed in spirit.
