Theatre on Nørrebro, with a focus on being the peoples theater, with down to earth plays, often edging over into Comedy. Mostly spoken, Danish performances, so probably best suited for Scandinavians.

Housed in a former church, this is Denmark’s first live venue for literature. Here audiences can experience readings by national and international writers, participate in discussions, or participate in events cent red on music, film and other art forms or on their cross-fertilisation with literature.

Independent Cinema, which is often described as the best in Copenhagen, despite - or because of - its modest size. Balances between independent productions and mainstream movies. As is the case with all Danish cinemas, international movies are shown in their original language.
