Description was written before the event

Compagnie des Quidams, a French street theatre group, presents FierS à Cheval, a wordless performance lasting 30 minutes for both children and adults. To a symphonic soundtrack, mysterious figures in Venetian-inspired costumes gradually transform into large, inflatable white horses that dance and compete in a choreographed parade, led by a small, enigmatic figure.

The performance takes place at 11:00 and 13:30 on Skjolds Plads on 29 August as part of Osramhuset Street Festival.

About the venue: Skjolds Plads

Skjolds Plads is a public square in the Haraldsgade district of Outer Nørrebro, named after the Norse legendary king Skjold, son of Odin. It was laid out alongside the Cityringen metro station that opened in 2019. The square has a playground and a ball court, and occasionally hosts music events and flea markets. The surrounding streets - Heimdalsgade, Odinsgade and others - are all named after figures from Norse mythology.
