Pærfekt Gin & Croquis is an evening event at Folketeatret in Copenhagen, Denmark, staged on the theatre's main stage, the Store Scene. It is built around a simple idea: to question the ideas we carry about what counts as perfect, attractive and desirable.
What the evening is like
Croquis models pose for artists while the audience takes part in a conversation about body ideals, diversity and the wider culture of perfection. Rather than a conventional show with a fixed story, it is a meeting between the people on stage, the artists drawing them and the people watching, with the discussion running alongside the drawing.
- Where: Folketeatret, Store Scene (main stage), Copenhagen
- When: Runs from 16 November to 8 February; performances start at 20:00
- Who it suits: visitors interested in art, the body, and public conversation about appearance
Around the venue
Folketeatret is a theatre in the centre of Copenhagen, so an evening here can be easily combined with other plans in the city. Because the event is set in a working theatre, it also gives a sense of how the building is used beyond its usual performances.
