MINU 2023 has only one kind of ticket available: a festival ticket that gives access to all 10 concerts at the festival priced at 150 kr.

It’s important for us to present events that are accessible to everyone regardless of financial means. We want to encourage audiences to visit multiple events, therefore access to all concerts on the festival is included when you purchase a ticket.

The Danish asylum is based on the UN Refugee Convention, which are then interpreted by Danish politicians and enforced by the Danish Immigration Service. A system that physically consists of borders, police and centers. A complex mechanism, and overall, an expression of how Denmark relates to and accommodates people on the move.


"WE JUST WORK HERE - WE DON'T MAKE THE RULES" is based, among other things, on conversations with asylum system employees - about their daily tasks and reflections on them. The voices of the asylum seekers are not directly represented in the work, but the pauses and silence between the work’s movements represent their silenced voices.

"WE JUST WORK HERE - WE DON'T MAKE THE RULES" is an insight into how it feels to be a human being whose job it is to maintain a system.
