Elers Kollegium

Elers' Kollegium is a student residence located in the medieval part of Copenhagen. The dormitory or society provides living quarters for 20 students from the University of Copenhagen or from the Technical University of Denmark. The dormitory is one of five small dormitories referred to as the old dormitories. They are partially administered by the University of Copenhagen, and only students who have passed at least two years of studies are considered for admission. It is an academic honor to be a member of these dormitories. It was founded on November 29, 1691, by Councilor of State Jørgen Elers (1647–1692), having lost his last two children in the theater fire in 1689. The building was inaugurated in 1705, and had to be reconstructed after the great fire in 1728.

Café Teatret
Café Teatret

Café Teatret is a theater in Copenhagen, Denmark that was established in 1972. It is located in Skindergade. The company stages new Danish plays as well as Danish premieres of foreign plays. One season usually sees between four and eight productions. Apart from the theater itself there's Café Teatret Kafcafeen which presents its own independent program with one-night events, including debate meetings. In 2011, Christian Lollike joined as Artistic Director with the ambition to create contemporary performing arts and a theatre with an international outreach. Since then, the theatre has undergone a major artistic change and has become significantly noticed both home and abroad. In May 2014, the theatre changed name to Sort/Hvid, but only half a year later there was a fire in the historic theatre in Skindergade, and the building was damaged for good. Sort/Hvid is now located in a new and larger theatre in the Meatpacking Districts in the heart of Vesterbro, Copenhagen, which opened in 2017. The company gained international attention and controversy in January 2012 when it announced its plans to stage a play based on the manifesto by Anders Behring Breivik written by Christian Lollike. The play, Manifesto 2083 premiered on 15 October 2012 and was performed to 16 November and again in January 2013, as well as in Oslo and at other venues.The play was awarded the jury's special prize during the Reumert of the Year awards in 2013. At the same awards, the company's play "Slakten" (The Family) got the prize for best play of the year and Christian Lollike got the best playwright of the year award.
