Opening of Warehouse9’s IPAF Festival!
The IPAF festival directors, Jørgen Callesen and Emma Castro Møller, invite you to come celebrate the opening of IPAF 2026 in Dansehallernes foyer March 19 at 17:00. There will be bubbles and speeches and a spoken word performance by Rei Mansa.
Rei Mansa has been part of Warehouse9 since the beginning and has been performing at several different events such as the Xmas cabarets and other fun stuff. He has played around with gender expressions, odd costumes and words. Today he mostly focuses on spoken word, but still with focus on gender & sexuality with a dash of healthy loathing of capitalism and norms. He tries to be funny but mostly he’s just an elder-queer who’s tired of the stressful world and would like to be allowed to leave in peace and quiet with his partner and cats.
Tickets for the opening: This event is open to all / free entrance

ABOUT IPAF
IPAF is Warehouse9’s international performance festival. The festival is a vital extension of the organisation’s dedicated work to support and present LGBTQIA+ artists and cultural practitioners. IPAF is a dynamic meeting place that creates opportunities for artistic development, live performances, and facilitates spaces for dialogue and community.
This year, the festival is co-produced with Dansehallerne and presents genre-bending work in Copenhagen that actively engages with identity politics, sexual expressions, and body representations. IPAF is founded on the strong belief that dance and performance can offer new perspectives and understandings of reality, inspire collective imagination, and advocate for better and more just futures.
IPAF is made possible with support from the Dansehallerne, the Danish Arts Foundation, the City of Copenhagen and Vesterbro Lokaludvalg.
