BEN HAMILTON

SYMPTOMS of cancer are like horoscopes. You have a persistent cough/you’re going to meet a mysterious stranger; you suffer occasional dizziness/somebody is going to make an announcement; some mornings, you struggle to make it out of bed/you’re going to die. It always sounds so feasible. (By the way, this might be a good opportunity to reply to the Indian astrologer who keeps on emailing me about writing a column. Please desist – I’ve resisted replying, presuming you would already know my answer, but enough is enough.) Cancer, getting it and dying from it, is something the Danes do really well (see page 3 of the newspaper), which might explain why the CTC has chosen Calendar Girls (see G2) as its latest production – either that or it was the chance to see six gorgeous women get their kit off for a good cause, which will involve a percentage of the proceeds being donated to Rigshospitalet.

Posing nude to celebrate life: it’s not a bad way to be remembered, is it? The performance dance piece Traces (see G3) looks at this very issue: what we leave behind. In the performers’ case, it’s an unresolved career in the circus as we are treated to some pretty spectacular acrobatics. Could be worse: history might remember you as the Horse Whisperer (see G18 for a review of Buck), which sounds a bit creepy, like he’s probably got a cousin (who he probably married) called the Horse Fiddler. Couldn’t he have chosen a cooler animal? Like a rhino. The Rhino Whisperer: that’s a film I’d pay good money to see. Elsewhere, our health continues to be the dominant theme this week – particularly for men. Reading across from page G8 to G9, they can first of all discover the cause of the autumnal angst eating away inside them at this time of year, and then switch over for two cures: shopping to restore your hygge and visiting the Healthy Lifestyle Fair. Not sure there will be any handy tips for avoiding the enigma that is the Big C. When you weigh up all the health advice out there, you’re probably no worse off consulting your horoscope.

The perceived wisdom is that you should always say it with roses, but you can see why the CTC’s Calendar Girls chose sunflowers on this occasion

Calendar Girls

Krudttønden, Serridslevvej 2, Cph Ø; starts Wed, ends Oct 13, performances Oct 3-7 and Oct 9-13, weekdays 19:30, Sat & Sun 17:00; tickets 140kr, www.ctcircle.dk “EVERY STAGE of growth has its own beauty, but the last phase is always the most glorious,” is true of both flowers and of women, as Copenhagen Theatre Circle sets out to prove in their autumn production of Tim Firth’s Calendar Girls. Based on the 2003 feature film script of the same name, the play follows a group of Yorkshire women who pose nude for a “Pirelli-type” calendar in an effort to raise money for leukaemia. And ‘women’, for once, does not refer to a group of 20 to 26-year-olds (who may or may not resemble teenagers), but real women, this time ranging between the ages of 29 and 74. CTC’s own six gorgeous Calendar Girls find the scene in which they shoot the calendar – otherwise known as ‘the fabulous concealment’ – to be an important, if not challenging experience that is central to the message of the play. “We want to show that women are vibrant and beautiful at any age, but it’s still a difficult thing to do. It’s putting yourself far out of your comfort zone,” confesses Polly, who at 29, is the youngest of the Calendar Girls and new to both Denmark and acting. “I’ve heard of women who refuse to go to the doctor because they’re embarrassed about their bodies,” adds Tina, a fellow Calendar Girl, who is a trained stage manager and the only American in the cast. “We need to dare to get in touch with ourselves and see that we are beautiful just as we are – this play really expresses that.”

Performance Swan Lake

NEW

Koncertsalen, Tivoli, Vesterbrogade 3, Cph V; starts Thu, ends Sep 29, performances at 19:30; tickets: 390-480kr; 150 mins; www.tivoli.dk This spectacular ballet combines breathtaking choreography with Tchaikovsky’s music. More than 40 Moscow Ballet dancers will take to the stage in the enchanting Tivoli atmosphere. The story centres on the wizard Von Rothbart who has put a spell on the young queen Odette. She is forced to live a life as a swan by day and a human by night. The spell can only be broken if a young man promises to love her forever. EB

It’s standard procedure in Hollywood to take a successful play and adapt it for the screen, but the reverse is less common: to make a play based on a film. “I was apprehensive at first. I mean, a play based on a film?!” confides Vanessa, one of the few professionally trained actors among the cast, who currently resides in Malmö and takes the train over for daily rehearsals. “But the script is actually better; it’s so much funnier! Each character is more developed. There’s someone every woman can relate to.” The 2003 feature film, which was directed by Nigel Cole and starred Helen Mirren and Julie Walters, was based on real events. A Yorkshire sector of the Women’s Institute started the calendar, initially to raise money to buy a couch for the waiting room of the local hospital, where one of the member’s husbands was receiving treatment for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. “Everybody’s lives are touched by cancer. My father had prostrate cancer and my friend had breast cancer,” says Debbie, who plays Marie, the head of the WI in the play. “We’ve all lost someone or been affected somehow.” Every Calendar Girls performance, whether done by an amateur or professional theatre group, continues to contribute towards the fight against cancer, with 50 percent of the royalties going towards cancer research. On top of this, the CTC has decided to donate a portion of its profits from this production to Rigshospitalet. Maureen, a CTC veteran since ’73, has been living in Denmark for 40 years and celebrates her 74th birthday only a few weeks before the premiere. For her, the Copenhagen Theatre Circle has played a major role in her life in Denmark.

Messias

Gamle Scene, Kongens Nytorv 9, Cph K; ends Sep 30, Fri 19:30 Sun 15:00; Tickets: from 695kr; Duration: 110 mins; in Eng with Dan supertitles; www. kglteater.dk Händel’s Messias has been adapted as an opera. Aussie director David Freedman allows his actors to use improvisation to develop their characters. EB

And with rehearsal hours ranging from ten to 20 hours a week, everyone involved finds themselves becoming part of the CTC family. “We’re all foreigners, but we’re here for the long-term. Most of us speak Danish and many have Danish partners,” says the jolly French assistant director Sylvain. “But we spend so much time together that the cast becomes something like a family – we’ve been spending more time with each other than our real families.” And although there are many with professional stage training like Tina and Vanessa, they are joined by a host of other theatre lovers from a multitude of occupations. “We all have full-time jobs!” continues Sylvain. “I’m an engineer, we have someone who works at a law firm, within photography and insurance … everything really!” The cast is led by Reumert Award-winning director Barry McKenna, who has the challenging task of bringing a Yorkshire village to life within an Østerport theatre. Sylvain points to the relatively small size of the theatre, with only 100 seats, to help create the intimate village setting, but that it is his talented actors that do the real heavy lifting. “Our cast is so good that you immediately feel as though you are there, in Yorkshire. I feel that way every rehearsal, no matter where we are. Even a Gentofte basement feels like northern England once we’ve started rehearsing!” So if you fancy a dose of Britain during this rainy Copenhagen autumn, a good laugh or maybe just a peek at one of the lovely calendar girls, then make sure you book your ticket and add this show to your calendar.

Carmen

Operaen Takkel- N loftet, Ekvipagemestervej 10, Cph K; performances on Thu (Oct 4) and Oct 6; tickets: 195kr; duration: 120 mins; www. kglteater.dk Carmen, composed by Frenchman Georges Bizet, is undoubtedly one of the best known operas. The tale depicts a seductive woman who wraps unsuspecting men around her little finger. Guido Paevatalu, who is responsible for staging this intense chamber version, has had a long career singing opera with the Royal Theatre, as well as having played the role of the bullfighter in a previous production of Carmen. This intense chamber version of the famous opera features dramatic music mixed with video projections. EB

Traces

Republique, Store Scene, Østerfælled Torv 37, Cph Ø; starts Oct 5, ends Oct 21, performances Tue-Fri 20:00, Sat 17:00, 20:00, Sun 15:00; Tickets: 80-295kr; www.republique.dk I’VE ALWAYS enjoyed the circus: the daredevil acrobatics, the sheer physicality of the human body, performers pushing themselves to their limits. But as much as my inner child is enthralled by the performance, I can’t help but feel one step removed from the show. A sense of distance exists between the audience and the performers that says ‘here’s us and there’s you’. It’s as if we’re sharing differing worlds – not entering into the same one together. This is the exact feeling that co-director Gypsy Snider sought to eradicate when creating the high risk acrobatic show Traces. Created in 2002 in Montreal by a company called Les 7 doigts de la main (the 7 fingers of the hand), the aim was to bring the circus genre to a human scale. “We wanted audiences to get to know the artists and have a direct human relationship with them, so when they do the

crazy stuff, you feel like it could be you or your neighbour,” says Snider. Set in a make-shift shelter, Traces follows five characters as they set to live out what they believe to be their final moments in the face of imminent catastrophe. Confronting this impeding disaster, they embark on a mission to leave their mark on the world, their ‘traces’, through music, songs, dance and hazardous acrobatics. It’s this pressure of time and the idea that the performers’ lives are being threatened that creates an electric yet intimate atmosphere, says Snider. “The concept means you have these amazingly powerful artists on stage giving it everything they have from a genuine place in their hearts as if it really is their last moment on Earth.” While the show was constructed with a certain theme in mind, the choreography evolved from an improvisational process orchestrated by the performers themselves. “This creates an authenticity in the artists’ movements, which is something audiences can feel even though the show was made six years ago,” says Snider. While Snider believes the circus genre always has the capacity to impress, Traces exudes a human element that leaves audiences emotionally spent. This

Playing to their strengths: one performer spurned a promising career in basketball, five others their places at uni (traces of cynicism detected)

stems from the rollercoaster of emotions the artists evoke from their seemingly precarious acrobatics. “It inspires and electrifies people and you get that feeling of ‘are they actually going to make it?’” say Snider. For those who’ve experi-

enced Traces, it’s well know that the unbridled energy of the performers leaves them feeling like it is a one-off - that the show was created especially for them for that exact night. At the end of 2011, Traces had been presented over 1,200 times in nearly 20 countries.

This, however, is their first time in Copenhagen where their show is being hotly anticipated. Snider says she’s incredibly proud that, in spite of the simplicity of the show, it continues to be an incredibly touching experience. “I like to think of it as like

an explosive expression of humanity as if it really was about to be the end of the world.” At the heart of the performance, Traces celebrates five individuals, their particular talents, their bond and their risk taking ventures.

Sleepy Sun

Loppen, Christiania Sunday 21:00 100kr, www.billetlugen.dk

T’S FAIR to say that US band Sleepy Sun have led the way in the recent psychedelic revival. Playing to the strengths of this genre, while maintaining some commercial appeal, hasn’t been easy and the band has seen its fair share of transformations. Born at just the right time as the pendulum swung back in favour of 1960s sounds, Sleepy Sun are both products of this nostalgia as well as helping to move it forward.

Despite attaching themselves to the genre, Sleepy Sun are not a retro band. They do not sound like The Grateful Dead or Jimi Hendrix and their attempts at creating soundscapes share little in common with the old masters Pink Floyd or Country Joe and the Fish. Theirs is a mixture of harmonised modern pop that is both tighter and more restrained than their ‘60s forebears. While they do make efforts to sound spacious and alternative, the music is more suited to a relaxed dinner party than a Ken Kesey acid test. The band was formed in Santa Cruz, California in 2005. Originally playing heavier rock, they soon be-

gan to morph into what they would become with the addition of Birds Fled From Me singer Rachel Fannan. Together with guitarist and vocalist Bret Constantino, Fannan’s sugary sweet vocals helped to temper the band, leading them to a softer but more refined sound that culminated in their first release, Embrace, in 2008. While the album did receive favourable reviews and earned them esteem amongst fellow musicians, Embrace didn’t sell as well as it should have, although it did lead to a host of strong supports that saw them tour for most of 2009. In 2010, the group supported Arctic Monkeys on a sell-out tour of

the US. The experience helped shape their live performances and they began to receive acclaim for the diverse and energetic nature of their shows. And in June of that year, they released Fever, which received a favourable amount of radio play, particularly in the US. The album was praised for its dynamism, at times sounding like a refitted Smashing Pumpkins, while keeping in tune with their psychedelic ideals with songs like ‘Maria’ and the nine-minute closer ‘Sandstorm Woman’. In October of 2010, Fannan left the group, citing ‘creative differences’. The absence of her vocals has had a profound effect on the band, leading

to a more streamed version of their music. Their latest album, Spine Hits, is perhaps more commercial than their previous releases and sees less of their rambling instrumentation and more of the classic three-minute wonders. The album has received mixed reviews and much will depend on whether you see Sleepy Sun as a psychedelic band or just a band that dabbles in psychedelia. One thing’s for sure, they’re playing at the right venue. With tickets going for 100 kroner in Copenhagen’s undisputed alternative heartland, this will be one of the most authentic musical experiences you’re likely to see this year. ANDY RUGG

Reptile Youth

Pumpehuset; 22:00; 130kr A lighter alternative to the synth-pounding Justice, the Danish duo made their debut on the Scandinavian circuit with ‘Speeddance’, a catchy LCD Soundsystem-like anthem that caught the eye (well, ears) of Mark Ralph (Hot Chip) and Dave M Allen (The Cure) who have gone on to produce their debut album. Taking their suncharged beats extensively overseas has led to the Danes making strides outside of northern Europe on the back of the release of a debut record that has been lauded by Vice Magazine, the exact media the band need onside to get a solid footing with the Scandinavian night-crawlers.

Thee Attacks

Loppen; 21:00 100kr Hailing from Copenhagen, the four-bit indie-rock band are on the rise with their ambitious, buoyant, Kinks-flavoured brand of surf-rock. Catchy guitar hooks, gripping Ray Daviestinged vocals and pervasive rhythmic backdrops highlight that the quartet have all the makings of a great indie-rock band. Having risen to regular slots at Copenhagen’s betterknown venues, the group are finally making strides on the Danish music scene. With hits such as ‘Johnny And I’ still getting cheers, their new material will be welcomed with open arms by Loppen’s punters.

Lille Vega; 21:00 160kr The Copenhagen-based ambient rock outfit made their break with the single ‘Comfort and Rage’ a few years back. On the fast track to stardom, their slowevolving folk caught the imagination of their Danish listeners, fast becoming a radio favourite. The release of their new record, Fractures (2012), is a demonstration of what the band are capable of. A neat reflection of Scandinavian lo-fi rock, they are part of a new wave alongside strong, similarly-minded Danish acts including Sleep Party People, Choir For Young Believers and Hymns From Nineveh. Tickets are running low, so be sure to book up in advance.

Of Monsters and Men September 19 Store Vega

hen I turned up at the Of Monsters and Men concert at Store Vega on Wednesday night, I must admit that my expectations were rather high. The chamber pop sextet have been hogging blog space lately, spurred by, among other things, their recently dropped album My Head is an Animal. If their performance is anything to go by, this is a band with huge potential, and an amazing live act at that. We’re talking about a band that sounds strangely similar to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, fused with Mumford & Sons, and a tinge of Arcade Fire – just to complicate things. Fellow Icelander Lay Low was at hand to provide a wonderful warm-up, playing a dex-

Anathema

Lille Vega; 20:30 180kr The oddball classical musicians from Liverpool have been categorised as pioneers in a progressive genre of music entitled ‘melodic heavy metal’. Taking a band name that quite literally means ‘a thing to be detested or loathed’, the group obviously set out with the intention of shaking up the industry. Working with the core musicality of doom metal and incorporating unlikely instrumentation – a left-field method that has gradually become a trend with proteges such as Godspeed You Black Emperor – the band’s ninth album, Weather System (2012), has once again enthralled the heavy metal world.

FRIDAY 28

Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir seemed thrilled with the soaring number of Icelanders at Vega and engaged them in her native tongue before unleashing tracks such as the up-tempo, jovial ‘Mountain song’. An unexpected cover of ‘Skeletons’ by trendy New York garage rockers Yeah Yeah Yeahs thereafter added a fresh wave of variation to the concert, while

sing-along gems such as ‘From Finner’ got the crowd jumping. Unsurprisingly, the highlight of the show came when the anthemic ‘Little Talks’ dropped towards the end. The song epitomises the chamber pop sound that the band has managed to cultivate over its short but sparkling career, and featured a brief, but perfectly timed trumpet solo that accentuated its jolly effect. Led by the vocals of the subliminal Ragnar Pórhallsson and Hilarsdottir, Of Monsters and Men were sharp from the word go, playing with ear-to-ear grins and bonding with the crowd, despite the customary unresponsiveness of Danish audiences. Nowhere was this bond more candid than at the very end of the show, as the Icelanders parted from the stage, with the dreamy, contemplative chimes and ticks of the final track ‘Yellow Light’ ringing in the audience’s ears, who by this point, were in merry spirits.

Lukas Graham

Falconer Salen; 20:00; 220kr One of the stars on the Danish festival circuit this year is Danish-Irish musician Lukas Graham, who like his father is a folk singer whose music has cropped up on both sides of the Atlantic. Signed to Copenhagen Records, his summery ballads have led to popularity here, with his single ‘Drunk In The Morning’ reaching third spot in the charts in February. Famous for making teenage girls weak at the knees with his swooning lyrics about budding relationships, romantic gestures and walks in the park, his shows, which are in English, often sell out.

Nightlife Frankie Teardrop

Ideal Bar, Vega; Fri 22:00; free adm Frankie Teardrop, a weekly club night that celebrates the rock of ages, is a hang-out spot where nostalgic hipsters get their kicks. Taking a different musical decade each week, a collective of resident house DJs – also known for playing at the various night venues spread across the city – deliver iconic tunes. A must for any new students in town who own a Strokes LP and don’t fancy muddying their new brogues at Norrebrogade’s Drone club.

Tyler Ward

Lille Vega; 21:00; 100kr Using the internet as his platform, Ward’s fame shot up in the late noughties as he became something of a YouTube phenomenon. He is currently one of the top 20 most popular artists on the internet. His tunes don’t leave much to the imagination. The fact that he’s covered Justin Beiber’s ‘Boyfriend’ neatly sums up his ‘artistic’ integrity and aims as a pop star: chiefly to see just how many more YouTube views he can get his hands on. Making ‘real’ music doesn’t really seem to appear in Tyler’s universe. Daniel van der Noon

Culture Box; Sat 22:00; 70kr Next to some of the names that Kodbyen attracts from time to time, Culture Box is Copenhagen’s leading club scene attracting international DJs. Tonight is the monthly label night by the Berlin-based Ostgut Ton, which pulls in some of the German capital’s finest house and techno names. Taking the lead tonight will be the raw beats of Dettmann – known for his distinctively stop-start, jagged mixes – on the back of the popularity of his show at Culture Box earlier this summer.

Ever since he was old enough to put dirt in his mouth, Erik B Duckert has been attracted to the ground level and below. The attraction of the underground, he says, is that: “When you’re looking at a city from its gutters, you see both the faeces and the silk.” His favourite sewers are those of Copenhagen and in particular those of Nørrebro and Amager, but any place where trash is tossed and skirts are worn, he will want to rest his eyes and say his piece.

GOING UNDERGROUND

The season of moral education HOW DO WE survive the loss of summer? From now on, and for the next eight months, the Danish media and everyday conversation is going to be saturated with one thing: the whining about the loss of summer and what it was that we did to deserve this deprivation of sun, nudity and freckles? Now it’s autumn and the wheels of decay are spinning at full intensity. Everywhere you look, life is withering, dying, and with it a lot of the lifeaffirming phenomena designed to get mankind through his tedious hours of earthly existence. One could mention the brightlycoloured flowers, chirping birds, the feeling of warm sand between your toes and so on, but most important of all is that spring and summer is the time when the human specimens of the desired sex reveal skin, throb with pheromones and send dirty looks your way when passing in the street. That’s the real loss; that’s what’s over now. Everywhere you look, women are covering up. It’s the end of indecent nipple exposure, tanned shoulders are no more, goodbye freckled cheeks, and inviting smiles, farewell. ‘What could be the point of this inhumanity?!’ one cries. But if we have learned just one thing from history, it is that the sky never answers. And that’s all we really want, isn’t it? An answer. Any answer. So here is a classic answer that gets me through the day, a straw to cling to: the harsh stares, tightly-pressed lips and hidden skin of your desired public

Try a bit of cosiness Summer may have passed for another year, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to despair. With a little bit of hygge know how, it’s easy to overcome the chilly nights, and turn your home into its own little centre of cosiness. From candy to movies, we have you covered.

Abigail’s: forever a place in our hearts

Candy MegaStore Copenhagen Kultorvet 2, Cph K; 3312 1209; open Mon-Sat 10:00-22:00, Sun 10:0020:00; www.candymegastore.com/ stores A hygge night in just isn’t complete without candy. Whilst Denmark may have many candy stores, the best has to be the Candy Megastore. With literally hundreds of types of candy, this shop is a must for those with a sweet tooth. They have a special emphasis on American candy and soft drinks, with famous brands such as Hershey´s, Wonka, Mountain Dew, and many more available.

Blockbuster Various locations; open Mon-Sat 10:0022:00, Sun 11:00-22:00 find stores at www.blockbuster.dk/stores, 7022 0290 Few things are as universal as Blockbuster. Since 1985 they’ve been providing lonely punters with something to do on a Saturday night. That being said, there’s nothing better than curling up on the couch with a good movie. Offering one day rentals on the latest blockbusters for a mere 39 kroner, it’s cheaper than a beer in most upmarket places. If movies aren’t your thing, they also offer a range of video games for hire, and have movies for sale.

Bering House of Flowers is one of the city’s most beautiful and well-known florists. With window displays that would put most shops to shame, it’s the perfect place to pick up some greenery and home decorating ideas. Their talented decorators are always on hand to offer inspiration, and they truly are experts at arranging flowers for any occasion.

Luckily, thanks to Abigail’s, it doesn’t have to be just a dream. This store stocks a great variety of British, US and international foods. They have biscuits, ice cream, meats, frozen meals, wines, and so much more. Offering a great home delivery service, as well as personal pick-up, this is one shop that is sure to help keep the home sickness at bay.

IF THERE’S one thing everyone can do, it’s live healthier. From walking or biking in lieu of the train or bus, to drinking water instead of soda, there are small changes we can all make on a dayto-day basis to make ourselves healthier, extend our lifespan and improve our general well-being. Sometimes all that’s stopping us is not knowing exactly where or how to start. So why not begin at the Healthy Lifestyle Fair at Øksnehallen this weekend. Denmark’s largest health fair has been held each autumn since 1986. Last year 17,000 people attended, and another 15-20,000 are expected to attend the fair over the course of its three days. The fair will host a series of talks and lectures on various health-related topics, such as recent medical developments, alternative medicines and healthy lifestyle changes, and will stage 190 individual stalls, occupied by vendors from throughout Denmark selling an incredible assortment of products: from organic skin products and makeups to massage oils and scented candles. While the fair primarily appeals to and attracts women, there is undoubtedly something for everyone – who doesn’t need to go to a talk entitled ‘Cultivate happiness for more love and better sex?’ Or how about ‘Fulfill your dreams and achieve your goals. Meet a world champion?’ And if you’re thinking now’s not a good time to make drastic life changes,

A trip to the fair could be the tonic you are looking for

maybe it’s a good time for a cleansing shiatsu massage or a quick round of acupuncture? Maybe it’s a good time to snack on healthy candy, like chocolate and yoghurt covered in fruit and nuts? Go to the fair. And, if you’re browsing stalls and listening to talks and realise that none of the health ‘craze’ is up your alley, you can easily dodge off and grab a beer at one of several bars located nearby in Copenhagen’s meat-packing district.

The power of thought, the body’s physical abilities, and focus Sun 14:00 This talk, delivered by Kirsten Bak Hansen, comes from a holistic perspective of health that begins with the power the mind has over the body. How much of your health is determined by your mood? Are you thinking yourself sick? Find out on Sunday.

FOOD & DRINK

InOut | THE CPH POST ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE FOOD BLOG BY SIMON COOPER

I KNOW it’s root vegetable season (my next favourite season after the football one), but I’m going to digress and share with you a brilliantly simple, almost peasant recipe that will keep your bellies burning through the darkening nights. I first learned about boiling gammon at home, then later in a baptism of fire whilst living in Poland – and it’s awesome. Whilst roasting and frying produces great taste, boiling makes gammon stupidly tender. It also ticks boxes on the health front with a lower fat content (though of course that’s not why housewives have historically put meat to piping water). The other good thing is that you cook it in stock, so the stock flavours the meat and vice versa.

The stock can then go on to make great soup. This is as hearty as hearty gets. You can decide on which sauce you serve with the dish – maybe a white parsley one, or just some of the cooking liquor, or how about some kind of sweet apple and onion affair? You could also do a crust on the gammon – pig à la Jutland. It’s critical to mention here that you absolutely must have the best cider you can lay your hands on. DON’T, I repeat ‘DON’T’, use Sommersby or any other cheap brands. Cooking the cider will burn off the alcohol so you’re left with the flavour – and which would you prefer oaky apple or radioactive chewing gum?

Restaurant Kiin Kiin Guldbergsgade 21, Cph N; 3535 7535; four-course menu 450kr, seven-course 775kr (with wine menu 1450kr); www.kiin.dk There are only two Thai restaurants in the whole world that have been awarded a Michelin star. One of them is in London, the other one is Kiin Kiin, which you’ll find in the heart of Nørrebro. And it’s well deserved. Kiin Kiin isn’t just a restaurant, it’s an experience, a place where every little detail is thought through. PDR Reinwald’s Farvergade 15, 1463 Cph K; open Mon-Sat 14:00-24:00 (kitchen closes at 22:00); 3391 8289; fivecourse menu with wine 850kr, other dishes 75-215kr; www. reinwalds.dk Serving lunch and dinner, a director’s script-length of choices confronts you at Reinwald’s. It’s a who’s who of classic French and Frenchinspired Danish dishes as well as a monthly set menu. Any chef would be proud of this. SC 1. th. Herluf Gade 9, Cph K; 3393 5770, 1th@1th.dk; 1,250kr per person; www.1th.dk 1. th. is a gourmet restaurant with a twist. Tucked away behind a hard-to-find door on the first floor to the right of a typical Copenhagen apartment, the restaurant is based around the concept of the dinner party with guests stepping into what appears to be a private apartment and then being utterly spoilt by their hosts. The monthly set menu costs 1,250kr and has a whopping ten courses, and you can tell them in advance of any food quirks you might have and they will personalise the menu for you. Terrific food, friendly and attentive service and a unique setting. CS

Karriere Bar Flæsketorvet 57, Cph V; open: Thu 16:00-24:00, Fri 16:00-04:00, Sat 18:00-04:00; 3321 5509; www. karrierebar.com An edgy bar where the music and gossip don’t end, Karriere Bar, hidden in a corner of Kødbyen, should be number one on your list for dining and for cocktails.

The burgers are huge, and must be eaten with a fork and knife to prevent a mess. But they’re delicious, and the vegetarian, beef, pork and chicken options mean that even the fussiest eater will find something. DC Oysters & Grill Sjællandsgade 1B, 2200 Cph N; open Mon-Sat 17:30-24:00, Sun 12:00-21:00; oysters cost 1535kr each, main courses cost 135-185kr; 7020 6171; www.cofoco.dk Oysters & Grill is not rocket science, yet it gives diners in Copenhagen access to fresh and delicious food at reasonable prices with an emphasis on seafood, fish and meats, which are prepared simply and flavourfully. NA Chai:Wong Thorvaldsensvej 2, Frederiksberg; open Mon-Sat 11:00-24:00; SouthEast Asian; starters 55-125kr, mains 135195kr; www.chaiwong.dk Inspired by a trip to various Asian cities, the owners have brought authentic Asian cooking to Frederiksberg. Enjoy a lychee mojito as you study the menu, and be sure to try the prawns with rice noodles. For dessert, order the banana cake with salted coconut ice cream, then stagger home, full of good food and wine. CS

of cold water and 1 litre of apple juice (all apple juice will be too sweet). Bring the broth to the boil then reduce the heat and cover with a lid to simmer for 1 hour 20 mins (or 20 mins for every 500g of meat). Keep checking to scrape any scum off the surface of the stock. Begin the lentils about 15 minutes before the meat’s ready. Finely chop the onion and garlic and heat until onion has softened in a pan with some oil. Rinse the lentils well and add them to the pan, coating with olive oil. Add the thyme, bay leaf and cider, bring to the boil and turn down heat to simmer with a lid on for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use more water if the lentils start to stick. Finally, carefully remove the meat from the stock and let sit for 15 minutes before serving. Let the stock cool for storing.

Saxo Cafe Colbjørnsensgade 11, 1652 Cph V; open 11:00-23:00; 3888 8288, www.saxocafe.dk; Chinese buffet 128kr pp, dim sum dishes from 35kr Saxo’s menu is an eclectic and comforting mix of cultures, incorporating Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese buffets, Dim Sum and Vietnamese menus, and traditional Danish fare.

There were two highlights: the veal, pumpkin, mushrooms and potatoes with amazing truffle sauce (a “best ever veal experience”) and the chocolate cake (“Oh My God”), which was possibly the best chocolate cake ever!

Pubs The Irish Rover Strøget 46, Cph K; Open daily 10:00-late; www.irishrover.dk There’s live music Thursday-Sunday (22:00-late), the kitchen is open from 10:00 until late every day – serving a burger meal with pint for just 120kr – the pub caters to all sports fans, there’s a pool table in their back room where you can smoke, and there’s an upstairs lounge area – the perfect place to relax with a view over Strøget.

Kennedy’s Irish Bar Gammel Kongevej 23, 1610 Cph V; Open Mon-Sun 12:0002:00 It’s not an Irish pub. Instead it’s a pub owned by Irishmen, and there’s a big difference. It’s an authentic taste of what the Emerald Isle was like in the 1980s in a pub totally devoid of concepts, themes, and DIY Irish pub kits. Drop by at 17:00 on Fridays for the traditional Irish music sessions which are rapidly gaining in popularity. BH Southern Cross Løngangstræde 37, Cph K; open Sun-Thu 15:00-03:00, SatSun 12:00-05:00; 3311 0939 This Aussie boozer has a lively darts board, a fortnightly quiz, a good sports atmosphere, and a happy hour until 8pm during which you can buy beers for just 30kr. JHW The Dubliner Amagertorv 5, Cph K; Open Mon-Sun 10:00-late It’s the perfect place for sports fans to mingle, or for live music, which it provides every day. It serves food from 10am to 10pm, and diners can find peace from the music and sport on a table overlooking the walking street, or on the first floor balcony overlooking Amagertorv. BH The Globe Nørregade 43-45, 1165 Cph K; Opening hours vary, until 03:00 Fri-Sat Friendly service and good value food make this the perfect city pub. If it’s company you want, try the main bar, or a private function, the second bar; seatingwise pull up a high chair, relax on cushioned benches or lord it as a bishop for the evening; or go genteel in the library – a great place to cheat in the fortnightly quiz. BH The Old English Pub Vesterbrogade 2B, 1620 Cph V; Open Sun-Thu 11:30-02:30, Fri-Sat 11:30-04:30; 3332 1921; www.oldenglishpub.dk Facing Tivoli’s arches and just a stone’s throw from Strøget, it’s the ideal pit-stop on a tour of the city centre.

Feed a hero! Let yourself know it’s Yakitori time SUSHI has long enjoyed a successful run as this city’s trendy food, but watch out because there’s a new Hero in town. Hero, a Japanese street kitchen that opened in June of this year, is set to revolutionise what people think is trendy. Located on the ground floor of the Fox Hotel, this stylish bar and restaurant is capturing the authenticity and atmosphere of a Japanese street kitchen. They place an emphasis on simplicity, style and high quality ingredients, with Hero’s strength lying in their unique approach to dining. The atmosphere at Hero can be compared to an Izakaya, a down-to-earth place where locals drink sake and beer after work while enjoying food. Every detail has been designed to create an amazing atmosphere − one that I have yet to see anywhere else in the city. Oozing sophistication and a too-cool-for-school attitude, Hero is so much more than another stock standard Copenhagen sushi place. They also offer a delicious range of snacks, salads, small dishes, meats from the grill, yakitori (skewered meats), tempura, sashimi, sides and, of course, a range of sweets. Sipping on icy cold Kirin Ichiban beers, we began with some delicious Edamame beans that proved a winner throughout the whole evening. Wanting everyone to be chopstick heroes, we were also given a bowl of mixed nuts, soy sauce, and told to start practicing. The owner swears this is the best way to learn. With our chopstick skills up to par, we tucked into two of the small dishes: a perfectly prepared Tuna Tataki with yuzu sesame dressing, and Scallop Katafi served with wasabi mayonnaise and pickled cucumber. Having recently tried the Scallop Katafi at what many Copenhageners would argue is the city’s best sticks and sushi restaurant, I can easily say that Hero is the winner. Already in heaven, we moved onto the Yakitori, which is a Japanese specialty in which the meat is skewered. Served in pairs, we had the grilled shrimps served with a sake dipping shot, and the teriyaki beef with fresh ginger. The shrimps were large and tasty and paired well with the sake shot. As for the teriyaki beef, I was left speechless. Having tasted a lot of beef in my life, this was hands down, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever tasted. If you go to Hero for nothing else, you must go for the beef Yakitori. Fearing it could get no better, we cautiously navigated towards the Duck Breast, with orange and teriyaki sauce, served with rice. My duck-adoring partner was extremely impressed by its tenderness, but the rice was a bit on the dry side.

Stylish, inviting, unmistakeably Japanese, the chic interior lends itself perfectly to an experience that every trend-setter in the city will be aching for

Looking to make sure we got in our daily five, but with a bit of a naughty twist, we tucked into the tempura vegetables. Although a bit on the salty side, they were nice enough. The Soba noodles with hot sauce and fresh coriander leaves is a nice staple dish, as is the Green beans and peanuts in sesame paste. One side dish, however, which is a must-try, is the deceivingly simple-sounding Cabbage with ginger and chili. It truly was a small bowl of spicy vegetable heaven. Priced at just 40 kroner, this dish would make a great quick treat on the way home.

To finish we tried what most Danes will judge Hero on: their sushi. Leaving our sushi future firmly in the staff’s hands, we started with the Mackerel Nigiri. Having never tried it before, I was slightly scared by the remains of a Mackerel face staring back at me, but in it went. Now, while I won’t be rushing to have this one again, it is obviously a very unique offering and therein lies its merit. From the Uramaki sushi selection, we had the Tempera long beans with five spice aioli and scallions. Not usually a fan of vegetarian sushi, I am now a convert. The five

spice aioli gave it a nice twist, whilst the tempura beans had a lovely crunchy texture. To finish our hero-worthy experience, we sampled the Kaburimaki sushi with asparagus and avocado, topped with salmon, chives and ikura. A fresh sensation, the salmon in particular practically melted in your mouth, which is always a good sign of its quality. Reasonably priced, impeccably chic and unbelievably tasty, this is the place to go if you want to be a hero amongst the trendsetters.

A human tale from the horseman’s mouth ARUN SHARMA

Buck (11)

Dir: Cindy Meehl; US doc, 2011, 88 mins

Premieres September 27 Playing at Gentofte Kino and Vester Vov Vov

OLLOWING a summer filled with an endless stream of mind-numbing cinematic superheroes and sequels, it is somewhat surprising to see an American box office hit in the form of a documentary from a fledgling director about a horse trainer. Mind you, despite this unlikely congruence, it is not as if American audiences have strayed too drastically from their thematic comfort zone. This is a film about a cowboy after all, and there is little that is more iconic and familiar to the American psyche than that. Also, the subject matter will be familiar to audiences due to Robert Redford’s The Horse Whisperer, a 1998 fictionalised adaptation of Nicholas Evans’s novel of the same name, although this documentary has mercifully little in common with Redford’s film other than the theme and horse trainer Buck Brannaman himself, who served as inspiration for both the book and feature film, and who was hired by Redford as an on-set consultant. Brannaman the man is far more compelling than Redford’s redundantly romantic characterisation could ever afford, and while his non-chiselled features, mild manner, and dry, often self-deprecating humour wouldn’t suffice for Hollywood, he does undoubtedly project unmistakable magnetism and authority when interacting with horses. Buck spends most of the year on the road, conducting seminars in horse-human communication, and owners often bring him nervous and

The film’s subject Buck Brannaman demonstrates his methods on himself − it took six farmhands three hours to untie him (after molesting him of course)

temperamental horses that recoil at being led, much less saddled. We watch as he calmly establishes a rapport with them, wielding nothing but a rope and a flag as he coaxes the horses until they follow alongside him obediently and unbidden. His technique and quiet control are not only impressive to novices and experts alike, but make for inexplicably engaging cinema, and audiences may well find themselves as mesmerised as the horses appear to be. Novice director Cindy Meehl, a former fashion designer, met Brannaman in 2002 when she took one of her

horses to a travelling clinic in Pennsylvania. “It was the first time I had seen him and he showed me that everything I had been doing with horses was wrong. I was very humbled. I realised he was telling me how to speak the horse’s language. They were not meant to be slaves.” Buck’s philosophy, which stems from the “natural horsemanship” movement, relies on empathetic encouragement rather than the heavyhanded “breaking in” that is often employed in modern horse training, and while this may seem obvious, he is still regarded as something of an enigma. The film also reveals a man whose

talent with horses is rooted in a deeply traumatic childhood at the hands of a physically abusive alcoholic father who forced Buck and his brother into cowboy showbiz (he started trick-roping aged three). It was a school teacher that noticed the signs of abuse, and Brannaman was subsequently fostered by a Christian couple who initiated him in the world of horse training. Meehl returns to the subject of his abusive childhood throughout the film, but her persistence comes across as revelatory rather than manipulative, and while she initially may seem to be offering insights into a man we might

otherwise find opaque, we are really seeing how his past makes him particularly well suited to his career. Meehl deftly reveals how the film is as much about human psychology as it is about horses, and Buck’s traumatic past provides a genuine point of comparison. His firm but honest approach to bad behaviour − not by the horse, but by its owner, reveals unacknowledged human personality flaws, and as Brannaman points out, if handled properly from birth, a troublesome horse can still have much to offer. It may well be that he isn’t just talking about horses.

Emerges with more cred than Sly’s Dredd Dredd (15) Dir: Pete Travis; US/UK/Ind action, 2012, 95 mins; Karl Urban, Olivia Thrilby, Lena Headey

Premieres September 27 Playing nationwide

It’s comforting to know that the future will at least include hair dye ...

UDGE DREDD is the creation of comic writer John Wagner. Headlining weekly UK anthology 2000AD, Dredd and fellow motorcycle-mounted lawmen protect and serve in a post apocalyptic, crime-ridden sprawl known as Mega-City One. Judges are so-called due to their on-the-spot sentencing: police-

man, judge, jury and executioner in one. Dredd’s previous outing, starring Sly Stallone, was berated for the blasphemous removal of Dredd’s trademark helmet and diluting the dark, über-violent tone of the comic with the inclusion of a comedy side-kick. This version, starring Karl Urban (Star Trek, Lord Of The Rings), clearly aims to make full amends for the above crimes. Urban’s take on Dredd’s infamous underbite is admirable if only for the effort he’s put into it. Having not been endowed with the required chin, the Kiwi gnaws through his dialogue, growling out every scene like the words were chewing tobacco. That’s part of the problem though; neither physically nor facially is he

ideally cast, so there’s a sense that he’s always reaching for the role and never quite managing to settle in it. If Urban is the chin, his sidekick, thankfully not Rob Schneider, is the heart: Olivia Thirlby is better suited to her role as the spirited but insecure rookie Anderson. One of the more effective scenes is her introduction to Dredd where she is stopped short of delivering a full psychological evaluation of him via her empathic skills. It serves to highlight his ‘anger and control’, hinting at a bottomless depth of pain, but crucially preserving the character’s air of mystery. It offers a vital glimpse into this character whose eyes we’ll never read, and of the dynamic that

will drive the film’s rather sparse narrative. Even though the action is mostly contained in one high-rise residential block, the production’s minimal budget still noticeably creaks in delivering the goods. Multi-coloured lighting illuminates the gleeful comic-book violence, harkening pleasantly back to ‘80s genre cinema. Much of the action centres around a drug that speeds up the brain so it experiences time at one percent its normal speed. This device allows for the film’s more visually inventive sequences, ensuring that your eyes are often kept busy. Your brain, on the other hand, can afford to run considerably slower than usual.

New this Week Adieu Berthe Dir: Bruno Podalydes; FA comedy, 2012, 100 mins; Denis Podalydes, Valerie Lemercier, Isabelle Candelier, Catherine Hiegel; Mon 17:00, Grand Teatret Grand Teatret continues with its French Film Mondays, this time tackling the eternal French conundrum of wife vs mistress and dysfunctional but lovable families. It may all be a bit of a French stereotype by now, but you can trust director Bruno Podalydes (Paris, je t’aime and The Other Son) to breathe new life into a tired genre. LL

Book Your Tickets The Deep Blue Sea (11) Dir: Terence Davies; UK/ US drama, 2011, 98 mins; Rachel Weisz, Tim Hiddleston, Simon Russell Beale, Ann Mitchell, Jolyon Coy Dramatically observed and poignantly acted, The Deep Blue Sea tells the story of a woman who risks everything for love, and of the fear and loneliness that drives her. Extra points go to Weisz for being so ridiculously beautiful! KRG

The Dark Knight Rises (11) Dir: Christopher Nolan; US action, 2012, 165 mins; Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Marion

Cotillard, Anne Hathaway With the arrival of Bane (Hardy), a terrorist hell-bent on ‘liberating’ Gotham before reducing it to rubble, Batman (Bale) is forced out of exile to once again take on the role as Gotham’s Dark Knight. Nolan retains the delicate balance of building a credible reality while remaining respectful to the comic book origins, and as he departs from the Batman franchise, he leaves his reputation as a master filmmaker and the general state of comic book cinema in the best shape they’ve ever been. MW

Brave (7) Dir: Mark Andrews & Brenda Chapman; US animation, 2012, 100 mins; Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters With subtle echoes of the Brother’s Grimm and a heroine that recalls both Mulan and Ronia the Robber’s Daughter, Brave is a surprisingly funny yet serious tale about identity, fate, tradition and a troubled motherdaughter relationship. KRG

Avoid like the Plague Ted (15) Dir: Seth MacFarlane; US comedy, 2012, 106 mins; Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Seth MacFarlane, Joel McHale, Giovanni Ribisi A tale of Peter Pan-esque protracted male adolescence and ‘broversus-ho’ ethics, this is a film that squarely relies on the comic potential of random flotsam and jetsam pop culture, tongue-incheek offensiveness and state-

of-the-art foul-mouthed puppet humour. As with much of MacFarlane’s work, it is devoid of any trace of sophistication or finesse, and is fitfully amusing thanks only to the occasional deadpan shock-value jokes offered by Mark Wahlberg’s crooked straight-man performance. AS

Bryan Cranston, Bill Nighy This grossly miscast sci-fi reboot is a soulless affair with a handful of neat visual ideas that are inconsistently executed by a director who, by aping giants like Ridley Scott and Steven Spielberg, only succeeds in placing emphasis on his own inadequacies. MW

The Bourne Legacy (15)

Also Playing

Dir: Tony Gilroy; US action, 2012, 135 mins; Jeremy Renner, Edward Norton, Rachel Weisz, Stacey Keach When a ten-year-old passport photo has the second most screen-time after the lead actor, the film holds little promise. No other franchise entry works this hard to justify its own existence, the irony being that a decent action film is justified by decent action – of which Bourne Legacy has little. AS

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (15) Dir: Timur Bekmambetov; US fantasy/horror, 2012, 105 mins; Benjamin Walker, Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead This so-called film is nothing but a thinly veiled marketing fad from Hollywood’s whoremongers, a stick of quick-melting chewing gum for an ADD generation. Avoid at all costs. AS

Total Recall (11) Dir: Len Wiseman; US/Can sci-fi/action, 2012, 121 mins, Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel,

Chernobyl Diaries (15) Dir: Brad Parker; US horror/ thriller, 2012, 86 mins; Devin Kelley, Olivia Taylor Dudley, Jesse McCartney, Nathan Phillips, Dimitri Diatchenko Despite some pretty dismal performances, this thriller has some eerily jumpy moments to offer. Sadly the filmmakers are unable to maintain this level of excitement beyond the first hour, where the taut thrills give way to directionless time-paddling. MW

Moonrise Kingdom (7) Dir: Wes Anderson; US comedy, 2012, 94 mins; Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances MacDormand, Bruce Willis, Tilda Swinton, Jared Gilman, Katy Howard This newest feature film from debonair filmmaker Anderson has a brilliant cast, a wry script and stunning cinematography. It’s fashionable entertainment, and will no doubt please Anderson’s considerable fan-base. But under all the bells and whistles, is it just another coming-of-age, feel-good romcom – even a faintly insincere one at that? MW

Bachelorette (3)

The Expendables 2

Dir: Leslye Headland; US comedy, 2012, 88 mins; Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Caplan, Isla Fischer, Rebel Wilson While there are funny moments in Bachelorette, it’s really a drama at heart. By attempting to explore such serious issues in a light-hearted manner, Bachelorette is sometimes witty and insightful – but more often that not, it’s just a bit depressing. LD

Dir: Simon West; US Action, 2012, 103 mins; Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Chuck Norris, Bruce Willis, Big Arnie Sly Stallone and other compatriots from the 2010 film The Expendables return for the 2012 sequel, joined by an even more star-studded cast of action movie legends. If you want to see old Hollywood heroes tear up the town in a fastpaced, shoot-em-dead flick loaded with its share of wry humour, make The Expendables 2 your choice this weekend. Just don’t expect much more than that. HB

Ai WeiWei: Never Sorry (15) Dir: Alison Klayman; US doc, 2012, 92 mins Though Klayman superficially skims several potentially fascinating topics, the film’s accessibility and immediacy make up for most analytical shortcomings. AS

Albert Nobbs(7) Dir: Rodrigo Garcia; UK/ Ireland drama, 2012, 113 mins; Glenn Close, John Banville, Mia Wasikowska, Aaron Johnson, Brendan Gleeson Though Glenn Close shines in the title role, the conventional structure and didactic plot will leave you counting the minutes while hoping to be surprised before events unfold, all too often, as predicted. Albert Nobbs is not without an audience, but it’s far more likely to find it on prime-time television than in selected cinemas. MW

Magic Mike (15) Dir: Steven Soderbergh; US comedy, 2012, 110 mins; Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Mathew McConaughey Despite some impressive dance sequences and a star director behind the camera, there’s only so much you can accomplish with a story about male strippers ... and it’s not much. LD

To Rome with Love (3) Dir: Woody Allen; US/ Ita comedy, 2012, 102 mins; Woody Allen, Alison Pill, Judy Davis, Jesse Eisenberg, Alec Baldwin, Penelope Cruz, Ellen Page, Alessandra Mastronardi, Carol Alt, Roberto Benigni This film may not be a reinvention of the Woody wheel, but compared with most romcoms out this summer, it is almost a masterpiece.

Shirley

spor t THE W OF EEK

SV1, Mon 22:05

IS SHIRLEY Bassey dead? No, but neither is Maggie Thatcher or Elizabeth II, and that didn’t stop the biopics about them. Maybe women are less litigious? Err, not in Katharine Hepburn’s case. Her lawyers were the main reason we had to wait so long for The Aviator, 28 years after Howard Hughes’s death. Anyhow, the 70-minute BBC drama Shirley (2011) is neither controversial nor intriguing. “Grit is swept under the carpet; it’s all about the glitz,” warns the Guardian, conceding that fans of the mixed-race singer, who was born in Cardiff in 1937 and went on to achieve international fame as the singer of three James Bond title tracks, will love the “sultry, captivating, gorgeous” performance by Ruth Negga. But according to the Independent, it’s

cliched and made it “wonder whether scriptwriting software might have been involved in its creation”. Common sense accounted for This is England ‘86 (SV2, Fri 22:15), a series that delves deeper into the colourful characters, three years on from the film. Set against the backdrop of the World Cup, director Shane Meadows welcomes back every key cast member with a script that is dramatic (the rape in episode three, cut with footage of pub-goers complaining about Maradona’s handball, is harrowing), humourous and nostalgic. Also taking us back to the 1980s is Imagine: The Fatwa - Salman’s Story (BBC World, Sat 22:10 & Sun 16:10), an interesting recollection from the author about what it was like living in hiding.

Elsewhere, Tabloid (SV1, Tue 22:00; DR2, Tue 21:00) details how a former Miss Wyoming abducted a young Mormon; don’t miss the second seasons of Homeland (DR1, Wed 22:30) and Flight of the Conchords (SV2, Fri 23:00); the subject of Infamous Assassinations (DRK, SV1, Mon 22:05 Shirley Mon 22:30) is Mahatma Ghandi while Stars Of The Silver Screen (DRK, Tue 18:25) remembers Frank Sinatra; the obligatory war docs include Firestorm - the Bombing of Germany (DRK, Mon 20:00) and Last Day of World War One (DRK, Mon 21:40); while Fake or Fortune (DRK, Tue 20:00) is not as fun as it might suggest, but should interest serious art enthusiasts.
