Edisonvej 10 • 1856 Frederiksberg C

Edison is Betty Nansen’s extra stage and is located on a side street to Frederiksberg Allé. The high-ceilinged theatre is a kind of theatrical laboratory, with plenty of space to experiment, both physically and artistically. Artistic ideas are quickly transformed here into fascinating theatrical performances.

An experimental playground for theatre folk

Edison is housed in a former power plant, so you´ll encounter a theatre that doesn´t resemble a regular theatre.

The flexible stage and alternative seating structure make it possible for artists to play with the space so that audiences experience performing arts and plays from a new perspective. That’s also the reason why Edison is considered one of Copenhagen’s most exciting theatres.

Edison theatre is for those who love:

• Experimental theatre where you experience performing arts and plays from a new perspective

Frederiksberg Allé 102 • 1820 Frederiksberg C

The iconic building in which Avenue-T is housed was built in 1850 under the name of Sommerlyst. Since then, the theatre has had various names such as Føniks Theatre, CampX, Dr. Dantes Aveny, Frederiksberg Theatre and now Aveny-T.

At the theatre you can experience musical performances and drama with prominent Danish actors in the lead roles. Through the years, the theatre has featured Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Jimmy Jørgensen and Mads Mikkelsen in their lineups.

Great art on a low budget

As something unique to Aveny-T, the theatre presents shows with just one-fifth of the budgetary support they formerly received. Aveny-T has therefore become a pioneer theatre and has completed several co-productions, including with Aarhus Theatre.

Aveny-T is for those who love:

• Musical performances
• Drama with major actors
