About
SORT/HVID is an independent performing arts venue in Copenhagen, Denmark, found at Staldgade 38 in the Vesterbro district. It presents contemporary theatre, dance and performance, and is known in the city's cultural scene as a small, experimental space.
The venue describes itself as an institution that creates international performing arts, and its programme reflects that outlook. Visitors can expect work that sits outside conventional theatre, with productions that often test form and the relationship between performers and audience.
The building
The venue's theatre is in the Kødbyen area, where its building has flexible walls. These allow the space to be arranged as three stages at once, so a single evening can offer more than one kind of performance or a different layout for each production.
Music theatre
From 2021 to 2024, Statens Kunstfond chose SORT/HVID as a stage for music theatre, which gave the venue a particular role in that field during those years. Anyone interested in the crossing of music and stage work will find it a good place to look.
Planning a visit
SORT/HVID is a compact venue, so the experience tends to feel close and intimate. Check the venue's own website for the current programme, opening times and ticket details before you go, since these change with each production. The theatre is easy to reach from central Copenhagen, and a visit suits anyone curious about experimental performance in the city.
