The Flying Theatre: a stage between the clouds…
The Flying Theatre is a cultural catalyst that develops in the air and puts root in the ground, from its base at Billund Airport, thus being the very first theatre in the world in an international airport. The program iscarried out in since 2021 during high traffic holiday periods, with theatre and opera at the gates, in the terminals, baggage claims and performances, concerts, dance, workshops for young passengers and festivals in the hangars. Our theatre stage right in the passenger terminal has been transformed between 2023-2025 as well into a video-installation, to the benefit of both passengers and citizens of all ages. We develop our flying concept on the wings of imagination and creativity also with a new synergy with other regional and national cultural attractions, as it happened with the pilot projects Low and High Altitude; The Seven Skies; Theatre & Opera in The Air or The Flying Theatre Academy, dedicated to young talents and in collaboration with local schools.
We will continue performing weekly Fly me to… concert-show and other activities during 2026-2028 in the airports space, making BLL Airport a focal point, continuing to create an artistic network with different festivals, cities and countries around the world.
