Aarhus Festival

Figured I should at least do a little write-up about the Festival thats ongoing. City centre is indeed buzzing with excitement and swarming with people. There was The Police concert on the day I returned to Aarhus, but.. wrong era for me I suppose. Huge tents have been set up for Live music makeshift bars; a huge stage dominates the centre with a performance each night; many performances/activities/shows are found in various places, open-air and indoor alike; theres the World's Longest Couch (and comfortable too!) set up in town for people to relax. Atmosphere is definitely different the past week.

Unfortunately, when all is said and done, I think it is still not much of a tourist attraction. Most of the people in the streets seem to be Danes just back from summer holiday and eager to catch up / grab a beer with friends and acquaintances.

I did watch a fantastic performance entitled "The Waiting Room", where two performers did stunts and acts to literally kill time. It was very artistic, especially the use of recorded video to complement their on-stage performance. And oh yes, no speech was involved, which was perfect.

Lack of photos can be attributable to the fact that school started this week. Readings are by no means easy or skimpy. It remains a wonder how it is rumoured that exchange students totally do not need to study.
