Final two nights for ‘Out of Balanz’ from Denmark/Finland at the Physical Festival in Chicago

The Danish Pioneer Newspaper staff had the chance to attend the Physical Festival in Chicago to see “Next Door” by the multi-award winning Danish company OUT OF BALANZ on Thursday, July 31, 2014, and it was an outstanding and rewarding experience.

OUT OF BALANZ received a standing ovation from the audience, and their one-hour show was charming, funny, heartfelt, dramatic and entertaining. You might even be able to enjoy some licorice and Gammel Dansk during and after the show.

If you have a chance to see OUT OF BALANZ, the final two nights at Links Hall are tonight Friday, August 1 and Saturday, August 2 at 7 p.m.

Links Hall At Constellation is a small, intimate theatre (capacity of 100+ seated) at 3111 N. Western Avenue in Chicago. There is free parking across the street at Bulaw Welding located at the Southwest corner of Western and Belmont (remember to get a free parking pass from the theatre). The entrance is on Western.  The venue is between Barry and Belmont on the east side of Western facing the viaduct.
