Step into Lars Von Trier's distinctive universe, guided by the passionate art educators from Nikolaj Kunsthal, and meet some of the contributors who helped create the exhibition "Breaking Darkness”, a total-installation tribute to the unique filmmaker. You will experience the exhibition in the company of Nikolaj Kunsthal's artistic director and a few of the creative collaborators who assisted in developing the exhibition. Learn more about the three different tours below: 

7 May – 16:30-17:30 
Guided tour introduced by Solitude Studios 
Jonas Sayed Gammal Bruun and Sophia Martinussen, behind the Copenhagen-based textile design company Solitude Studios, work with clothing as their primary medium. They are fascinated by the way humans interact with nature – and how nature responds. Quite similar to Lars Von Trier! Solitude Studios’ contribution to the "Breaking Darkness" exhibition includes moss-like vines winding up columns and the floor (“Melancholia”), as well as large textiles that, projected through flickering film loops, hang in flowing cascades from the ceiling (“Europa”). 

Please note that the tour will primarily be conducted in Danish. However, English translation will be provided if necessary. 

21 May, 16:30-17:30 
Guided tour introduced by Helene Nyborg Bay, Artistic Director 
Meet Helene Nyborg Bay, the artistic director of Nikolaj Kunsthal and the curator behind the exhibition "Breaking Darkness." This tour offers insight into some of the ideas behind the exhibition, with Helene Nyborg Bay sharing stories about the exhibition's site-specific approach and Lars Von Trier’s visual language as artistic works. 

Please note that the tour will be conducted in Danish. 

17 June, 16:30-17:30 
Guided tour introducted by Jens-Otto Paludan, collaborator with Lars von Trier and owner of Freeze Frame Gallery
