Hop aboard as the grand production "Boat Tours NHZ (New Harbour Zones)" takes over Copenhagen Harbour.
The performance is built around a boat trip with a sightseeing tour to hidden locations, where we view Copenhagen’s waterfront with new eyes. Starting from, among other things, the history of Sydhavn, a future scenario is staged. Everyone is invited on an adventure where the unexpected arises – both on land and at sea.
In a hybrid of choreography, performance, text, and music, "Boat Tours NHZ (New Harbour Zones)" explores both the present waterfront and the old history of the king’s, war, and merchant harbours, as well as lives and fates. The performance delves into a fantasy of the harbour’s future, playing with ideas and stories that the harbour represents. With humor and gravity, the show brings the ideological and political struggles over the city into play.
Captain Atlas and his crew: agent Neptune, agent Jupiter, and agent Polaris look forward to welcoming you aboard!
The performance is curated by CPH STAGE and presented in collaboration with PUBLIC PERFORMANCE, Sydhavn Teater and Stromma.
Please note! The performance takes place outdoors, on a boat. In the event of heavy rain or strong winds, the performance may be cancelled. Read more about our policy regarding postponement/cancellation due to weather HERE.

What happens when the performing arts leave the theatre space and instead unfold in the middle of the city? That is the question “Boat Tours NHZ (New Harbour Zones)” grapples with through original and entertaining theatre with something to say – and precisely why the jury has selected the production. Along the way, the audience sails through the city and becomes part of a temporary community. With a sharp eye on urban development, climate and power structures, the work touches on some of the most sensitive issues of our time and creates a powerful shared experience, as you gently sway from A to B.
