BEN HAMILTON

I TRY NOT to run on concrete.

Besides hurting, it’s like I’m expecting a whole generation of Jim Fix joggers to succumb to arthritic knees overnight and need wheelchairs – like something out of The Day of the Triffids.

Like Freud I blame my mother for most things. Her favourite party trick is to take my wheelchairbound dad out to parks and tick off joggers for running on the path, when they could be on the grass. “If you don’t believe me,” she says. “Just ask Davros.”

I like running around The Lakes in central Copenhagen. It’s mostly earthy - ideal if it’s been raining. Recently I’ve been devising a new game I like to play that’s based on golf (see G9 for details about the forthcoming Golf Fair). Starting in Vesterbro, you split up the course into nine parts and reward yourself with a par every time you complete one without being overtaken.

Pass somebody, and you get a birdie, two an eagle etc. So, if you overtake a group of primary school

children, it’s Tiger Woods time. But likewise, a team of elite sportsmen out for a run will seriously damage your round – we’ll call that one an Ian Baker Finch.

The key to a steady round is allowing superior golfers (we could call them gobbers or is that too close to doggers?) to pass you in the noscoring zone - the pedestrian crossings between the ‘holes’. The key to a high-scoring round is to let the slow ones pass you as well, so you can overtake them, again and again and again – although there’s a risk you’ll end up with a restraining order.

Talking of which, you wouldn’t want to work with the performers in Blam! (see G2 for details). There you are enjoying a boss-free afternoon when Tweedle Dum and Dee start re-enacting Face-off. As a stage performance it sounds like a lot of fun, although (and perhaps this is an anal concern) I’d like to think I’d be able to recognise the movie.

I remember really enjoying it when somebody (it was Vincent Gallo in Arizona Dream – but I’m loathed to mention the man responsible for The Brown Bunny) did the cropduster scene out of North by Northwest, but it kind of helped that they had Cary Grant doing it ‘for real’ at the same time.

Almost as real as playing imaginary golf in your head running around The Lakes.

You will not survive: he’d waited a long time for a chance to get even over the office party karaoke contest

Blam!

Republique, Østerfælled Torv 37, Cph Ø; starts Friday, ends Feb 11, performances Tue-Fri 20:00; Tickets 160–255kr; www.republique.dk FROM TOMORROW, Jackie Chan’s asskicking moves, dare-devil stunts and riproaring chase scenes will not just be confined to the big screen. Four of Denmark’s best physical performers have taken their cue from the most gripping action films, YouTube clips and pirated videos to bring you the stage performance Blam!

“Blam! is about people freeing themselves and stepping into the movies where the natural laws of gravity don’t apply and people are capable of great things”, explains Kristján Ingimarsson, the show’s creator. Set in an office, the monotonous work tone is replaced by a high-octane energy as actors re-enact clips from their favourite movie scenes amidst desks, toilets and waste paper bins.

Blending together stunts, parkour, dance, acrobatics, mime and slapstick, the actors push their bodies to the limit, or some may say into the ‘danger zone’.

“We don’t hold back at all,” enthuses In-

Performance Mozart

Betty Nansen Teatret, Frederiksberg Alle 57, Frederiksberg; ends Sun, performances Fri 20:00, Sat 17:00 & Sun 15:00; tickets: 150–360kr; www.bettynansen.dk The team behind the theatre gigs Gasolin’, Come Together and Bob Dylan are back. They’ve been given the ultimate challenge – to create a theatre show based on Mozart’s music. With a sense of timing and dizzying costumes, the unreasonable Cederholm & Co takes you on a journey through Mozart’s world of famous compositions, as you’ve never seen or heard them before. Rediscover Mozart’s big hits in a new guise with some fantastic singers and actors. EM

gimarsson. “Physically it’s a very tough performance and there have been a lot of injuries.” But it’s precisely the dangerous aspect to the show that Ingimarsson said “gives people the rush they seek”.

Blam! is a tribute to the body that it can do the impossible if given the chance.

The actors in Blam! spend much of their time hanging with the new bad boy on the block: parkour. Developed in France, the focus of parkour is to move around obstacles – invariably everyday structures you might see on any city street in the world - with speed and efficiency by vaulting, rolling, running, climbing and jumping.

You have to be a little mad to do this kind of stuff though - a French study showed ‘traceurs’ (people practicing parkour) seek significantly more excitement and thrills than gymnasts.

“Blam! is a play where I didn’t need to think too much,” continues Ingimarsson.

“Blam! is just about thinking with your stomach, heart and pelvis.”

This is physical theatre at its best - a world away from intellectual theatre, some may say. Ingimarsson’s company, Neander Theatre, has captured the country’s top performers who have “worked their butts

The pairing (colloquially referred to as the ‘Cav and Pag’ double-bill) was first tried in 1893 and has become a favourite with audiences ever since. Somehow the themes of adultery, hypocrisy, drinking and to-the-death duelling (Cavalleria) dovetail nicely with those of uncontrollable passion, violence, poisoning, and murder (Pagliacci). KRG

off ” over the last two and half months to create the show. “Everyone is very turned on by this project and my hope is that the audience will be too,” muses Ingimarsson.

But all performances need some meaning behind the madness. Blam! provides a sharp hint of irony about the nature of our western culture – one that many have come to term as a ‘jackass culture’ in which people voluntarily engage in death-defying challenges in their desire to reach the limit of human thrills.

“The world is in dire need of more ‘blaming’,” said Ingimarsson. His hope is that by the time the show ends, people leave the theatre armed with the inspiration and the raw tools to address that need. “Blaming can be done on the street, in the office, at the movies, in the bathroom - anywhere really!” And because the show has no speaking in it, there can be no misunderstandings about what ‘blaming’ actually is. There is a word of warning issued from Ingimarsson though: “Don’t try to understand Blam! Just go with the flow.”

German stage director Christof Loy’s production, which has received excellent reviews in Aix-en-Provence, is modern, witty and rather dark, thanks to his decision to present the story through the eyes of a child.

The delivery of the baroque music is central to the success of Alceste, and in Denmark this has been entrusted to the Concerto Copenhagen with its dynamic conductor Lars Ulrik Mortensen at the helm. CS

A Folk Tale Store Scene, Operaen, Ekvipagemestervej 10, 1438 Cph K; performances at 20:00 (unless stated) on Thu, Jan 20, Jan 21 (12:00), Jan 23, Jan 24, Jan 28; tickets 95-595kr. (half-price concession for those under 25); 180 mins. including an intermission; www.kglteater.dk, billet@ kglteater.dk, 9816 5296 THE CRITICS have said it many times over – the choreographic formula of collaborators Nikolaj Hübbe and Sorella Englund is a product of more than talent, hard work, and artistic perfect pitch. Crucially, it incorporates daring, new ideas.

Hübbe, of course, is a veritable rock star in the world of ballet, complete with a reputation as an alleged coke-snorting megalomaniac around the Royal Danish Theatre. As a dancer, The New York Times in 2008 described him as “experimenting in a “what if?” way that was a thrill to behold”. As a choreographer on August Bournonville’s Napoli here in town in late 2010, that’s exactly what he, and collaborator Sorella Englund, were doing.

By bringing the plot a century closer, swapping old music for new, and rethinking old solutions, they offered what literary

Exhibitions

critics call a ‘strong reading’ of classic material.

In early 2011, the directorial duo Hübbe and Englund (a legendary Bournonville-interpreter with five decades of experience) debuted their tastefully modernised A Folk Tale, another Bournonville-gem, at the Royal Theatre. Now, one year later, we’re lucky to have the reprise.

Their take on the work – a fantastic, subtly Grimmian, unmistakably Nordic-flavoured tale about a changeling, her upcoming wedding, and plenty of mythical creatures – won the admiration of nearly every critic last year. At one level the production showed tradition and reinvention in mutual agreement, but essential to the success was also a remarkable ferocity unseen in the 500 plus Danish stagings that preceded it.

Naturally interpreters of Bournonville, the incorrigible founder of Danish ballet, cannot grant themselves carte blanche to do whatever – especially, I suppose, when Bournonville himself deemed the work his “best” and “most complete”.

Nor is the royal stage the place to deconstruct the classics. But A Folk Tale has arguably benefited from the directors’ accentuating strokes. The sacrifice of idyll and light for some extra trolls and witches is laudable as it serves to expand the overall range of emotion. Along with the ballet itself,

our experience is significantly heightened when we get a shot of fear and terror after first being lulled by Niels W Gade’s vivacious orchestration – inspired by Mendelssohn’s in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. But never fear: this ballet is all about celebrating the lovely Danish summer nights, as Det Kongelige Teater’s dramaturge Ole Nørlyng has said.

Another attraction of A Folk Tale is the extent and use of inyour-face symbolism. Whereas previous directors have had the ballet’s diverse demons wrestle hidden from view in a suggested underworld (metaphoric of the human mind), they now parade on the stage as if they owned it, starkly suggestive of the uncivilisable, sex and violence-prone human mind.

In brief, the ballet’s first act tells of Birthe, who is engaged to the melancholy Junker Ove but chooses to flirt shamelessly with Sir Mogens - so much so that she doesn’t notice the elf-girl Hilda trying to lure Ove into her elfhill with a magic drink. Failing at first, Hilda summons her friends, and the bevy treat Ove, to some serious, spellbinding elfdancing. Ove’s resistance crumbles. Exeunt the lot of them.

The always important second act is the only one to feature music by JPE Hartmann, one of Bournonville’s most favoured

PER MORTEN ABRAHAMSEN

Three hours of high-octane fun

G3

Not the worst sight in the world to wake up to - and they’re nymphs

composers. Story-wise, suffice it to say that Ove is not alone cherishing warm feelings for Hilda.

Meet the troll brothers Diderik and Viderik back in the elf-hill.

Also, as Hilda pays attention to her dreams she grows convinced that she and Birthe were switched at birth.

The third act, full of nuptial bliss, is perhaps best known by the Danes for containing their

absolute favourite romantic tune: Gade’s ‘Bridal Waltz’, which sees most eloping Danes off in style.

Gade himself thought it a trifle, but its popularity is up there with the national anthem – and it sure is catchy. However, we’re in for a dramatic ending.

A Folk Tale is often praised for being accessible and appealing to all ages. Its huge popularity speaks for itself and may, in

part, be a testimony to playgoers’ enduring interest in fairy tales.

Another factor may be the alluring dreamy quality that stems from exquisite music and a host of fantastic characters – mostly in a seductive mood. And, of course, everybody can relate to a vicious, ugly troll.

Oil barrels, steel rims, trash cans - yep, the Kaizers are in town

Kaizers Orchestra

Store Vega Thu Jan 26, 20:00; 250 kr; www.vega.dk www.kaizers.no

W

HO WOULD have thought that a rattling, rampaging Norwegian singing orchestra would have the crowds go crazy at Vega in Copenhagen one October evening in 2005? Probably the same people who would bet their whole record collection that thousands of Germans, Swiss and Spanish would one day holler along to songs in a language they did not understand, dance the ompa, and shout ‘Hallelujah’ to six saviours in Swedish suits playing gypsy music from Norway.”

So reads the liner notes of Kaizers Orchestra’s 2006 release, Live at Vega.

Kaizers Orchestra doesn’t fit in a box, in fact they’re not even close to having a box. But this Norwegian polka/gypsy/rock band have created something of an institution for themselves over the last decade. Formed in 2000 from fairly obscure beginnings, the Kaizers have capitalised on their unplaceable genre and indecipherable dialects to evolve as one of the top live acts throughout Scandinavia and Europe.

For those who’ve attended one of their concerts, you’ll know it’s the energy from the band’s six members and the intensity at which they sing their fantasy lyrics that fans just can’t seem to get enough of. No surprise then that Kaizers Orchestra was declared the best live act at the 2002 Roskil-

de Festival. I’d go so far as to say last summer’s Roskilde performance was a knockout too.

As part of their seven-month tour, performing 43 concerts, Vega will host the Kaizers on January 26. Vega holds a soft spot in the hearts of the band members after they recorded their popular double CD there in 2005. The performance acted as a pivotal milestone in the band’s career and as proof of their success in Scandinavia.

“Live at Vega is proof that anything is possible; that a spastic, foreignsounding orchestra from tiny Norway can become one of the world’s greatest live bands. The band that lives up to its own slogan: ‘Kontroll på Kontinentet’ (rule the continent), that band is Kaizers Orchestra,” the band wrote on the inside cover of Live at Vega.

This tour coincides with the release of Violeta, Violeta Vol II – the second CD in their Violeta, Violeta trilogy. Lead Kaizer, Janove Ottesen, aka ‘The Jackall’, hit a major creative boom in 2007 and composed two to three songs every day for ten days. Using this extensive backlog, Ottesen conceptualised the album trilogy.

The lyrics,

Ottesen says, are “magic realism” based around three characters. “Seven buckets of tears is enough Beatrice with confetti in the hair and reeking of Jack Daniels/ band-aid on the wound/and a thank you for the past” goes the song ‘Seven Buckets of Tears is enough Beatrice’.

When you put together six Norwegians, add three guitars, three oil barrels, a pipe organ, a double bass, steel rims, trash cans and sirens it’s hard not to resist becoming involved in the fantasy world that is Kaizers Orchestra. Tack on a strange Norwegian dialect that not even the natives can understand, and you’ve got yourself one heck of a great live act.

HE ROYAL Danish Academy of Music provides top instrumental and vocal courses for the future greats as well as specialised programmes in music education, composition, conducting and sound engineering. The general public benefits from the school’s professional performances of modern and classical pieces rarely shown at larger national theatres and concert halls. The level of talent and discipline at the conservatory challenges the notion of a student performance, and the range of the educational programme allows for more experimentation. The classics feel fresher and more like the artistic revolts they once were.

Maurice Ravel’s opera L’Enfant et les Sortilèges, or The Child and the Spells: A Lyric Fantasy in Two Parts, is no exception. An unusual one-act opera with a libretto by the renowned French writer Colette,

Makiko Hirobayashi Trio

Jazzhus Montmartre; 20:00; 250kr (125kr students) Japanese pianist Hirobayashi is one of the Danish jazz scene’s most provocative figures, perpetually challenging the genre’s perceived boundaries. This evening, Hirobayashi presents the work from her latest project alongside Danish bassist Klavs Hovman and American percussionist Marilyn Mazur. The trio create dream-like soundscapes through accessible compositions that have been received with unanimous praise by international jazz circles, with their latest record Hide and Seek (2009) on the receiving end of a number of international awards. its plot contains only one human character and is mingled with dance sequences. The basic storyline concerns an insensitive young boy being taken to task by the animals and objects he has mistreated, learning compassion and kindness along the way. Fire, cats, an armchair and a myriad of toys all become personified in dance and lyric melody.

The opera was created within a childlike, fairy-tale atmosphere. It only contains a few isolated moments of fiery Italian operatic writing - the most extensive example being the solo aria of the Fire. Two cats hold court in a sensuous loveduet of meows and the Teapot and China Teacup sing a mostly incoherent spattering of American and mock-Chinese idioms in French. The music, however, is scored with a light illusion of transparency inside a sound that is simultaneously both full and warm. Ravel seems to enjoy incorporating unusual effects such as clocks ticking and the cats meowing.

The partnership between Ravel and Colette was unnatural and challenging, but

The Chris Tanner Trio

Charlie Scott’s; 17:00; Free Charlie Scott’s is another one of Copenhagen’s hidden jazz clubs situated in the heart of the city.

Every Tuesday the Chris Tanner Trio – consisting of the local jazzmen Henrik Bay (guitar), Marc Davis (bass), and bandleader Chris Tanner (clarinet, vocals) – perform three-hour sets ideal for those just leaving the office. The club pride themselves on their Tuesday sessions, which draw in the local jazz community on a regular basis. They also work with other jazz clubs in the city to further improve Copenhagen’s already pristine reputation.

Colette’s ability to blend innocence with suave sophistication in her writing was the inspiration behind the story. It took Ravel nearly a decade to compose the opera, and Colette was surprised it actually made it to the stage. Written from 1917 to 1925, it was first performed in Monte Carlo in 1925 under the baton of Victor de Sabata with choreography by George Balanchine. The public and critical response after that first performance was warm, but not effusive. Ravel said at the time: “Our work requires an extraordinary production: the roles are numerous, and the phantasmagoria is constant. Following the principles of American operetta, dancing is continually and intimately intermingled with the action.”

Although he is frequently linked with Claude Debussy and impressionism, Ravel was greatly affected by his love of a variety of styles, including French Baroque, Bach, Mozart, and Chopin. His mother was of Basque heritage, which accounted for his fascination with traditional Spanish music, and he made a successful tour

Amager Bio; 20:00; Sold Out Formed in 1978, the reggae-pop group are one of the most successful bands from England’s second city, Birmingham. Infamous for the iconic ‘80s smoochingtunes ‘Red Red Wine’, ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’, and their version of ‘I Got You Babe’, the diverse group became an international phenomenon not long after their inception. Despite the group having continued without who was perhaps the most integral band-member – lead singer Ali Campbell (who was subsequently replaced by his brother Duncan a few years back) – they remain as popular as ever, having sold out tonight’s concert. of North America, where he met George Gershwin and had the opportunity to broaden his exposure to jazz. Ravel was private, meticulous and precise as a person, qualities that served him well as an orchestrator.

Ravel described the basic musical design behind his opera as lighter than usual. “The preoccupation with melody that characterises the work is accounted for by a storyline that it amused me to treat in the American operetta style.

By dealing with a fantasytale, Mme Colette’s libretto justified such a choice. Here, singing must come first; the orchestra, although capable of some virtuosity, remains firmly in the background.”

This partially-staged production was arranged for the symphony by Benjamin de Murashkin, who mastered in composition at the Royal Academy.

Free tickets to the performance must be picked up at the reception desk at the school before the performances during office hours from 09:00 to 15:00.

The Walkabouts

Lille Vega; 21:00; 160kr This Seattle-based group offer an elegiac-flavoured brand of folk pop. Stringing together elements of folk, punk, jazz and pop, their serene style of storytelling has hardly altered over the decades – their 15th studio-album Travels In The Dustland (2011), for instance, could have been plucked from practically any era in the band’s history. Each song is defined by gritty vocals telling sardonic stories backed by an insistent electronic organ and traditional rock guitar hooks.

Sadly, the group have become a little too studio-savvy, opting for more polished results as opposed to something more authentic.

MUSEUMS CORNER CONTENT PROVIDED BY CATHRINE MEJDAL, KULTURKLIK.DK

Small, quirky and personal A GOOD MUSEUM experience can impact on an adventurous visitor in a number of different ways. They can inspire, educate and offer unforgettable experiences. However, museums come in many different shapes and sizes, which can be quite overwhelming for the museum wanderer who wants to be able to penetrate what they perceive, and enjoy a quiet toasty-warm morning or afternoon without being forced to spend time with endless crowds and getting lost in the maze of some of the big-scaled museums.

With that in mind, join us this week as we sample the smaller museum experience. Whether it’s a writer’s home transformed into a carefully preserved homage, a unique art collection in an old, underground water cistern, an architectural space exhibiting the story of Jewish life in Denmark, or a beautiful building devoted to a quite macabre and blood-curdling past - that of the everlasting struggle between the forces of justice and the bone-chilling criminals lurking in the shadows - smaller museums can be just as looming as the shadows of the major museum.

Bakkehusmuseet Rahbæks Allé 23, 1801 Frederiksberg, Open Tue-Sun 11:00-16:00 In a humble yellow building on leafy Rahbeks Allé, in the quaint centre of downtown Frederiksberg, sits the small but magical Bakkehus Museum of literary and cultural history.

couples, Kamma and Knyd Lyne Rahbek, lived from 1802 until their deaths in 1829 and 1830 respectively. Their home was also the home of many of the age’s great authors, artists and scientists of the Golden Age - HC Andersen was, in his youth, a regular guest. The tiny museum is like travelling back in time; the atmosphere in the home has a unique feel of a perfect union between environment and authenticity. The museum has been meticulously restored and preserved, with original furniture, antiquated books and paintings and assortments of ornaments - all of which contribute to the authentic feel and foster your creative side.

Cisternerne – Museum of Modern Art Søndermarken, 2000 Frederiksberg, Open Thu-Fri 14:00-18:00, Sat-Sun 11:00-17:00 While strolling in the lovely baroque garden, Søndermarken, you might think that the two entrance portals of Cisternerne – which are designed by Max Seidenfaden – are a scultptural part of Søndermarken, but they actually lead you deep underground to the grotto-like water cisterns of olden times. These have been rebuilt into a permanent museum of modern glass art complete with the stalactites formed by the changing water levels. To delve into the beautiful surroundings, and soak in the atmosphere and history of the water cisterns (which were constructed between 1856 and 1859 and served their original purpose until 1981) while you admire the stained glass art works, is an art experience out of the ordinary.

The Police Museum Fælledvej 20, 2200 Cph N, Open Tue, Thu and Sun 11:00-16:00 The old, intimidating police station building from 1884, which now houses the Police Museum, might be in the heart of Nørrebro, but before 1852, it was in the countryside. But when the city decided to abandon the demarcation line, a building boom took place in Nørrebro, which soon became the home of thousands of new workers who came to seek their fortune in the city by legal and illegal means.

While the historical tales are stirring, the surroundings alone are enough to transport travellers to another era. There, in the antiquated rooms, you can experience the forces of justice of old and their doings and undoings. Floor-to-ceiling stacks of criminal photographs, artefacts and murder weapons reveal tales of pure malice, vivid despair, toe-curling shame and deep sorrow, as you learn more about the dark characters left out of the history books but nonetheless visible here.

iel Liebeskind, had in mind, when he designed the interior in an expressionistic style reminiscent of the cubism of Picasso. The visitor steps into an exhibition made up of an enigmatic and expressive landscape: the form, structure and lighting are an experience for the senses and reflect the many facets and experiences of being Jewish in Denmark from the 15th century up until today; the struggle to live by the Hebrew word, Mitzvah, in times of religious dispute, exile, affluence, poverty and last, but not least, war and the holocaust. The holistic museum experience of the Danish Jewish Museum is best expressed in the words of Liebeskind: “The museum will become a destination that will reveal the deep tradition and its future in the unprecedented space of Mitzvah. The intertwining of the old structure of the vaulted brick space of the Royal Library and the unexpected connection to the unique exhibition space creates a dynamic dialogue between architecture of the past and future - the newness of the old and the agelessness of the new.”

The Danish Jewish Museum Proviantpassagen 6, 1218 Cph K, Open Tue-Sun 10:00-17:00 When strolling along the canals of Copenhagen, you might encounter an old building in the backyard of the Royal Library (the Black Diamond), which houses the first minority museum in Denmark: the Danish Jewish Museum.

IT’S THAT TIME of the year for Copenhageners, after recovering from the Christmas chaos and New Year hangovers, to start planning this year’s holidays. As if bang on cue, here comes the annual holiday and golf fairs at the Bella Center.

Both events are aimed at offering numerous holiday options to visitors. Malia Hye, the exhibitions and sales group manager who is responsible for this year’s Holiday Fair, is extremely optimistic about the turnout for this year’s festival – its 30th since 1983, which will be opened by Copenhagen’s deputy mayor for culture, Pia Allerslev. According to Hye, last year’s event drew a whopping 39,086 guests and this year the numbers are expected to soar even higher.

Over three eventful days, the visitors can plunge into a world of diving, camping, sports and golfing getaways. With hundreds of exhibitors from Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Spain and even Asian countries like Thailand, the visitors will be spoilt for choice to pick their next holiday destination or activity. Be it personalised trip advice, lectures, presentations by experts, or tours aimed at women, the Bella Center has it all packed under one roof in exhibitions halls C1-C5. Adding to the excitement are photo competitions and an amazing opportunity to win a camping trailer. Last but not least, the Holiday Fair will hold holiday auctions - the proceeds from which will be given to the Dansk Folkehjaelp, a charity that supports low income families and children.

A new element to this year’s fair is the focus on holidays for the young. The popu-

Down on the driving range, swinging - although you probably can’t find that sort of holiday

lar young people’s travel agency, STA Travel, will be participating and invites visitors to look at their special offers and inspiring holiday packages. “It’s an event for all ages, genders and social backgrounds,” enthuses Hye. “Therefore the event is divided into multiple fairs that have something of interest for everyone.” And not even the very young are excluded from the fun. They will have their own play area called Lego World. Adding to the holiday spirit will be food stalls serving food based on holiday themes, such as sausages and sandwiches in the camping sections and healthy food in the sports section.

Running parallel to, and under the umbrella of the Holiday Fair, is the Golf Fair. For the seventh year in a row, this segment has gained a lot of interest, drawing crowds as large as 12-14,000, which explains why it is becoming more and more independent. The main aim behind the fair is to offer golfing holidays, golf club memberships and the opportunity to get more people involved in the sport. Like the

Holiday Fair, the Golf Fair is also taking a proactive approach and getting visitors involved in activities.

Featured at the fair will be golf courses from Denmark, Sweden, northern Germany, Spain, Morocco, etc. Also on show will be holiday houses in Turkey, Spain, Thailand and other destinations that are built around golf courses. The chief organiser of the event, Carl Erik Hesseldal, adds that the nine new exhibitors who will be representing the holiday properties are a new feature to the fair.

Golfing enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the fair will also feature an appearance by Anders Dahl Christensen, a highly respected Danish golf coach. He’ll be at the fair offering advice and answering the queries of visitors. Alongside him will be a host of other golf pros and PGA trainers. According to Hesseldal, perhaps the most exciting and crowd-drawing aspect of the fair will be the competition to win a car at the SIM (simulator).

DID YOU KNOW that, besides their beguiling shape, texture, and flavour, avocados are technically a fruit? In 1970s America it was chic to have avocado green kitchen appliances. Nothing can erase my memories of ovens and refrigerators the colour of rotting peas. As much reverence as I have for the avocado, it does not translate well to appliances. Or shag carpet for that matter.

Then there were the times I tried in vain to grow my own avocado tree by sticking toothpicks into the seed and placing it carefully over a jar of water. Has anyone ever had success with this? I have a friend from Tanzania who recalls eating avocados by the dozen, right off the tree. She warned that this is not necessarily a diet friendly approach.

But unless you sit down to avocados for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it’s highly unlikely you’ll get fat eating them. What’s more, the number of reasons to include avocados as part of your regular diet far outweighs the risk. Avocados contain unsaturated fat, which is the good fat that helps to activate the part of your brain that makes you feel full. Alas, a feeling we don’t get with French fries. Avocados also contain folic acid, fiber, and an antioxidant that is believed to protect against eye disease.

Apart from the ubiquitous guacamole, there are a myriad of ways to incorporate this wonder fruit into your kitchen. Dessert, for example. It might seem strange, but it really works.

Cap Horn Nyhavn 21, Cph K; open Mon-Fri 10:00-00:00, Sat-Sun 09:00-00:00; 3312 8504; starters from 99kr, main courses from 139kr, desserts from 39kr; see www.caphorn.dk for special events Nyhavn, the old harbour, is an idyllic area of magic and hygge what the Danes like to say when referring to anything that is cosy, charming, or delightful: all qualities Cap Horn has in abundance. Its simple menu boasts a fine selection of organic, homemade Danish fare, with a touch of seasonal influence. 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!

One of them is in London, the other one is Kiin Kiin, which you will find in the heart of Nørrebro. And it is well deserved.

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 Reinwald’s Farvergade 15, 1463 Cph K; open Mon-Sat 14:00-24:00 (kitchen closes at 22:00); 3391 8289; www.reinwalds. dk; five-course menu with wine 850kr, other dishes 75215kr Serving lunch and dinner, a director’s-script length of choices confronts you at Reinwald’s.

It’s stylish without being pretentious, fast enough that you don’t go crazy waiting for food, and loud enough that you can make a racket without anyone raising an eyebrow.

traditional recipes, the amount of fat and sugar is reduced a lot. But I was surprised. While slightly more cakey, they are still moist and soft. The gooeyness factor is minimised; they are sweet but not cloyingly so - another feature of the usual culprit. That they are sort of a health food doesn’t hurt, either. My four-year old wouldn’t touch an avocado to save his life, but he was crazy about the brownies. Did I mention they contain Nutella?

Preheat the oven to 180C, and grease a 20 or 23cm baking dish. Beat the butter and sugar well. Add the egg, avocados, and Nutella. Beat well. Sift and add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt and beat again.

Gently stir in the vanilla, almonds, and chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 20 minutes. Depending on your oven, you might need to undercook slightly or bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Check after 20 minutes. Cool for 1520 minutes and cut into squares.

With such a wide choice, it’s a great place to go as a group who can’t agree on a choice of cuisine. On our visit our favourites were the Dum Sums - particularly the steamed pork dumplings that are perfectly fluffy.

The main courses are substantial, honestly cooked and rich in taste and include Vienna schnitzel with baked new potatoes and coleslaw and chicken breast topped with apricots and cheese. There are also dumplings cooked in the Austrian way and delicious goulash among the many different servings to be had. All in all it is a rough and tumble sort of place that is elegantly primitive with charisma, heartiness and austerely excellent food that perfectly accompanies classic beers and wine.

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 upstairs there’s a new lounge area, which is the perfect place to relax with a view over Strøget.

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.

Southern Cross Løngangstræde 37, Cph K; open Sun-Thu 15:00-03:00, Sat-Sun 12:00-05:00; 3311 0939 This Aussie boozer is a mecca for expats and Danes, old and young, that has a lively darts board, a fortnightly quiz, a good sports-viewing atmosphere, and a happy hour that lasts to 8pm during which you can beers for just 30kr. JHW The Dubliner Amagertorv 5, Strøget, 1160 Cph K; Opening Hours: Mon-Sun 10:00-late This pub is never quiet. It’s the perfect place for sports fans to mingle, or for live music which it provides every day. It also serves food all day 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, and it’s difficult to know where to enjoy your pint given the number of options. If it’s company you want, you might try the main bar, or a private function, the second bar; seating-wise 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, the longest running in the city.

This was the style of the dishes in which the food was served throughout the evening - I was told that the set was made especially for the restaurant.

Following this were the Limfjord’s oysters with cucumber foam and cream, which we gratefully devoured – washed down with a 2009 Alsace Trimbach I seem to remember, or was it the 2008 Stellenbosch Rustenberg – before tackling the fried Norwegian lobster, served in a setting of cream cheese, winter cabbage and dill.

SUNDAY BRUNCH

COLD NIGHTS, dark days, and low cash flow are all factors enough to keep one indoors and curl up on the sofa during the long month of January in Copenhagen. But all hope is not lost, if you venture out to the plush Langebrogadekaj in Christianshavn. Now although this might seem like an unlikely idea at this time of the year, a pleasant surprise is guaranteed, as emerging from the corner of Langebrogade is a chic boat named Restaurant Viva, anchored coyly in the waters before the astounding backdrop of Islands Brygge’s skyline.

Mesmerised by this view, if you walk further in and enter the boat, what welcomes you is a cosy and elegant dining room with a modest bar in the corner.

Welcomed by the staff as we stepped onto the boat, I was shown to our table - one among those placed along the row of submarine windows that boast a fantastic view. The seating arrangement in Viva is such that some customers benefit from the city view and while others are seated with a quayside view.

Serving food since 2004, Viva has created a reputation as a non-boastful yet elegant restaurant among the dining enthusiasts of Denmark. While the eatery is modest, it is also posh (I’d like to say aptly so, but it is an urban myth that the ‘port out, starboard home’ origins of the word date back to the first class area on a return trip from Britain to India, as this was only first coined in the musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), combined with a moderate amount of quirkiness.

Owner Buster Schmidt, who is a trained handyman, pursued his passion for food along with his father-in-law and childhood friend Paulo Gomez. Viva first opened its doors as a Mediterranean restaurant serving seafood dishes with influences from southern Spain and Italy. But with the onset of 2012, the menu and wine list have undergone a transformation and now the restaurant serves food inspired by the Scandinavian, French and Mediterranean kitchens.

In a city where restaurants serving similar themed cuisines are in no shortage, Viva certainly sets itself apart with its unique location and thrownin element of fine food. According to Schmidt, Viva is all about fine dining without the hassle of a formal setting.

While taking in the surroundings and enjoying a fine glass of champagne, we were served a delicious Brioche served with foie gras and yoghurt on what looked like a sleek marble block.

tastes of the sea, we felt at home in our maritime setting. Next was the visually amazing Smoked potatoes and Vesterhave cheese, garnished with chives. The poached turbot served with leek and cress was accompanied by what they call the aroma of November – well, we don’t know if March would have been more appropriate given its reinvigorating appearance. For dessert we were spoilt with a medley of apples – a sweet but not calorie-horrific ending to what was a splendid menu.

The prices at Viva are far from

what one would call exorbitant. They are in fact reasonable and mirror the current standards of gourmet restaurants in the city. All in all, while Viva is a good restaurant that pleasures your taste buds without burning a hole in your pocket, its biggest selling point remains its location – a boat setting that sets Viva apart from other gourmet restaurants.

DiCaprio wasted in an ultimately dull movie KEVIN EVANCIO

J. Edgar (11)

Dir: Clint Eastwood; US drama, 2011, 137 mins; Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts, Armie Hammer, Judi Dench

Premiered January 19 Playing nationwide

T

HERE IS A DEFINITE moral to the story with J. Edgar – that even 137 minutes of film is not nearly enough time to encompass roughly 50 years of one of the most interesting figures of the 20th century. At the same time, 137 minutes is also much too long for a film that never digs deep enough to uncover anything profound. It tantalises you with its potential but, like a child prodigy gone bad, never lives up to its promise.

It is long, overdrawn and empty, which is a shame when you have as much ammunition as J. Edgar Hoover gives you. In fact, with such an interesting story to work with, it is quite amazing that Hollywood could have produced something which is, quite frankly, so boring.

For those not au fait with their American history, J. Edgar Hoover was the first director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). By all accounts he revolutionised police/detective work by hiring great scientific minds and moved forward on a lot of technology thought to be ‘bunk’ back in the day – for example, fingerprinting.

He was also a huge fan of wiretapping whomever he thought to be a threat to his country or himself. The legend of his personal files must drive the British tabloids crazy with the thoughts of ‘what if …’

J. Edgar is set up as a film where J. Edgar Hoover (Dicaprio) is an old man

“But your honour, it’s true! I was saved from the Titanic by an alien ship and returned to Earth 10 years later, without having aged a day.” dictating his memoirs from behind his desk to many different underlings at the FBI. The highlights and lowlights he includes are his work against the Communists in the 1920s, his ascension to the top of the Bureau, his filing system, the Lindbergh Abduction, his scientification of the Bureau, the relationship with his mother (Dench), his ongoing feud with the Kennedys, his obsession with catching out Martin Luther King and his secret files. Along the way he has to deal with seven different presidents with only his longtime (and only) secretary Miss Gandy

(Watts) and constant companion (life partner?) and Bureau number two Clyde Tolson (Hammer).

It is important to note that Hoover is an unreliable author. There is a difference between Hoover’s memories and the actual truth. This is shown near the end of the film when Tolson pulls the rug out from under Hoover and his facts. This does help to shape how we saw the previous two hours worth of film, but is not nearly enough to save it.

The real bright spot of this film is without question Dicaprio. Whether

playing the young, on-the-cuttingedge FBI director or playing the older, scheming FBI dictator, Dicaprio steals the scenes. He manages to play a character generally regarded as a huge dickhead somewhere in the middle ground.

His combination of vulnerability and ruthlessness gives the impression of a man who must have absolute power or none at all.

But is Hoover a good guy or a bad guy? Is he gay, is he straight? Eastwood deliberately leaves all this very vague in hopes that the mystery will lead to intrigue. Unfortunately, in this case, it

Moving cinema without the schmaltz The Music Never Stopped Dir: Jim Kohlberg; US drama, 105 mins; J.K. Simmons, Lou Taylor Pucci, Julia Ormand

Premiered January 19 Playing nationwide

T

HIS FILM IS both sentimental and moving. It is like a satisfying meal; it isn’t too heavy and leaves you feeling content afterwards.

It is based on a true story by the neurologist-turned-author Oliver Sacks entitled The

Last Hippie. (Incidentally, this was one of my least favourite stories featured in An Anthropologist on Mars, the original book of essays. However, the film adapted the story very well.)

The story is about a man, Gabriel (Pucci), who develops a brain tumor and is reunited with his parents after 20 years.

Gabriel suffers from intense amnesia after undergoing surgery on the tumour. The year is 1986, but for Gabriel it is still the late ‘60s. His father, Henry (Simmons), helps to take care of Gabriel. In an effort to cure his son, Henry finds a music therapist and through music they are able to bring forth a more lucid Gabriel. Neverthe-

less, because Gabriel cannot remember beyond 1970, Henry has to come to terms with the son who left so many years earlier.

The acting in the film is incredibly strong. Antonia Dauphin, who did the casting for this film, should be patting herself on the back. Simmons is gruff and grumpy, yet sweet and kind as the father. He is easily the star of this film. Pucci is also great as Gabriel, which isn’t the easiest part to play.

Though the direction the story was heading in is not entirely surprising, it isn’t entirely predictable either, which is refreshing. The film has some fantastic awkwardly real moments and the dialogue is per-

leads to wishy-washy. It needed to take a stand and get off the fence to one side or the other.

It’s disappointing to think what J. Edgar could have been if Eastwood had focused more closely on one time period or story (perhaps the Lindbergh abduction) and filled in the rest with flashbacks. This is a clumsy film, loaded down with too many awkward flashback back-and-forths and awful makeup akin to the Muppets, to really be anything more than a starting point for something better to be done on him sometime soon.

fect. The father-son relationship is revealed in flashbacks, each scene building on the next but not in an obvious progression.

The film also does a good job of assigning meaning to objects, which works wonderfully as it’s about how we assign meaning to songs. It is about how music touches us, how music goes somewhere deeper than words and just digs into you. And we all know the feeling of hearing a song and being transported somewhere else.

As described in The New York Post, this is “an unpretentious and unexpectedly moving” film.

New this Week The Rocky Horror Picture show

Husets Biograf, Magstræde 14, Cph K; Sat 19:00 & 22.30 (sold out); tickets: 60kr; www.husetmagstraede.dk This cult classic from 1975 is a wild and wacky musical about a newly-wed couple who get lost on the road one night and find themselves at the castle of Dr Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite. Both showings will be introduced by special guest, Tore (aka Riff-Raff), who is an experienced rocky cultist. His entertaining intro to the movie is a show in itself – he’ll even teach you how to do the ‘Time Warp’! EM

Book Your Tickets 50/50 (7) Dir: Jonathan Levine; US dramedy, 2011, 100 mins; Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Bryce Dallas Howard The ability to get laughs out of an illness so devastating as cancer is difficult, and getting them without being cheesy or forced is a true work of genius. KE

The Adventures of Tintin 3D (7) Dir: Steven Spielberg; US action, 2011, 107mins; Jamie Bell, Daniel Craig, Andy Serkis

Whilst the film very much stays true to the mythical and timeless world that Tintin author Hergé so masterfully created, the introduction of slick film techniques and 3D wizardry makes it a modern story for a modern audience. JS

Drive (15) Dir: Nicolas Winding Refn; US thriller, 2011; 95 mins; Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan Refn manages to build extraordinary tension before igniting brief outbursts of violence. Sheer brilliance! KE

Money Ball (3) Dir: Bennett Miller; US drama, 2011, 133 mins; Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Robin Wright, Chris Pratt Moneyball is a baseball movie first and a drama about the underdog second. With a ‘home run’ performance from Pitt, Moneyball is his potential award winner of 2011. KE

Avoid like the Plague Another Happy Day Dir: Sam Levinson; US drama, 2011, 119 mins; Ellen Barkin, Ezra Miller, Ellen Burstyn Another Happy Day combines some of the stock elements of a family film with an honesty and viciousness that brings it up a notch, but only just. EM

The Darkest Hour (11) Dir: Chris Gorak; US horror, 2011, 89 min; Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby, Max Minghella Like many horror movies, at the beginning everything seems hunky dory until it all turns apocalyptic. The Darkest Hour was predictable and predictably bad and will leave audiences feeling confused and frustrated.

ED

In Time (11) Dir: Andrew Niccol; 2011; 109 mins; Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried and Cillian Murphy While the cast’s looks may be hot the action scenes are not – most are blatantly mundane at times. As one reviewer said “In Time fills its dynamic, sprawling universe with about as much character and drama as a halfhour game of Sim City.” EM

Larry Crowne (3) Dir: Tom Hanks; US comedy, 2011, 98 mins; Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Sarah Mahoney Do not expect Forrest Gump or Pretty Woman. Congenial is the word for Larry Crowne, but it’s as flat as an ironing board. EM

New Year’s Eve (3) Dir: Garry Marshall A tepid, shallow and predictable farce full of trivial problems. If it’s feel-good fluff you’re after, here’s enough for a whole year.

KG

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part I (11) Dir: Bill Condon; US drama, 2011, 117 mins; Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Strictly for teenagers of the female variety. EM

Also Playing Contagion (15) Dir: Stephen Soderbergh; US thriller/drama 2011, 118mins; Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Marion Cotillard, Kate Winslet, Jude Law The film functions more like a bird’s eye view - rather than an intimate human account - leaving the audience uninvolved and distinctly uninfected. MW

The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo (15) Dir: David Fincher; US thriller, 2011, 158 mins; Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara, Christopher Plummer Something about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo jars. Whether it’s the fact that all of Stockholm unaccountably speaks English, or that Fincher’s version has grown up in the shadow of its model – an excellent work – is hard to say. Although not destined to become a modern classic, this will no doubt excite many. KRG

The Help (7) Dir: Tate Taylor; US drama, 2011, 137 mins; Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard Set in the 60s Mississippi, the film has a political backdrop, but despite pulling on the heartstrings, The Help is entertaining and enjoyable. ED

Kill List (15) Director: Ben Wheatley; UK Thriller, 2011, 95 mins; Neil Maskell, Michael Smiley, Myanna Buring, Emma Fryer There’s grim violence aplenty, from which poor aesthetics provide no respite. Performances are the film’s saving grace, lending more charm and credibility to a script that deserves far less. MW

The Inbetweeners (11) Dir: Ben Palmer; UK com, 2011, 93 mins; Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison, Joe Thomas As with many TV to film transitions the tendency can be to adopt a more benign approach to its previous incarnation – thankfully the film retains much of its signature crudity but it does lose something by attempting to give us more. MW

Real Steel (11) Dir: Shawn Levy; US action, 2011, 126 mins; Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lilly Real Steel has a fairly predictable plot and an ending so cheesy that you are liable to choke on it.

G19

However, you find yourself caring not only about the human characters but the robots too.

All in all, Real Steel looks like the real deal. KE

Sherlock Holms: A Game of Shadows (11) Dir. Guy Ritchie. US action, 2011, 129 mins; Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law, Noomi Rapace Ritchie gives you what you expect here - lots of action, fight scenes and raw adrenaline chopped up and slowed down depending upon his mood on the day he was editing. There isn’t anything to really bring it all together though, but you’ll still have fun with this one. KE

This Must Be the Place Dir: Paolo Sorrentino; Fra/ Ita/Ire dramedy, 2011, 118 mins; Sean Penn, Frances McDormand Cheyenne (Penn) is a retired, middle-aged rock musician who floats about existing on the royalties from a successful recording career. After receiving word of his father’s death he promptly returns to his birthplace of New York where he learns of his father’s life quest: to track down a Nazi officer from the concentration camp where he was imprisoned. There’s an awkward sense that the jaunty visual comedy of Penn as an aging rocker belongs in a different genre than that of Nazi war camps. Yes, they form a coherent whole that is both entertaining and superficially engaging, but the problem lies in the lack of sincerity within the subjects themselves. MW

PICK O THE W F EEK

Any Human Heart

spor t THE W OF EEK

SV2, Mon 22:45

IF YOU haven’t read William Boyd’s novel on which this week’s pick is based, Any Human Heart, you’re in for a real treat. But if you have – theoretically putting you among the 20 percent of Americans who read one last year or the 67 percent of British children who own one – you’ll probably be disappointed. There’s no pleasing some people when it comes to book adaptations.

This heart-warming four-part miniseries takes the reader from a 1920s British private school (err, they cut that), to 1960s Nigeria (and that bit), and 1970s Pimlico (unfortunately left in) on an odyssey of the 20th century in which the central character (like all Boyd books: tall, dark and handsome he doesn’t know how to write men who aren’t irresistible to women)

Logan Mountstuart (portrayed by three actors) does a whole lot of loving, encountering a host of famous names including Earnest Hemingway, Ian Fleming, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor (a creepily brilliant Tom Hollander and Gillian Anderson) in the process.

It’s great fun, although you question at times where it’s really going. The central theme is the different ages of man, and the use of three actors allows for a lot of intro and retrospection. Of the Logans, Jim Broadbent nails it as the older self despite the daft Baader-Meinhof storyline, while Matthew Macfadyen (Darcy in Keira Knightley’s Pride and Prejudice) disappoints as the middle-aged version.

Elsewhere, One Lucky Elephant has a 96 percent Rotten

Tomatoes rating thanks to a human/animal bonding poignancy that gives Born Free a run for its money; Kim Wilde - Kids in America (SV2, Tue 21:30) takes us back to the tinny-sounding ‘80s; we’ve got the second series of Burn Notice (TV3 Puls, Thu 23:15), the Miami-based drama about a sacked spy who thinks he’s discovered SV2, Mon 22:45 Any Human Heart the whereabouts of British actress Gabrielle Anwar; Sunday’s footy on K6 sees Man City vs Spurs (14:00) followed by Arsenal vs Man United (16:30); Paris Brothel (DR K, Sat 22:30) traces the history of the French whorehouse; and Whisker Wars (DR HD, Sat 14:45) is a miraculous moustachioed world that looks like it was directed by Terry Gilliam.
