Maddid's Nordic Festival -in association with the Space FESTIVAL
Sat 11th 6.30pm, & Sun 12th July 5pm -£12/£8
Come for Nordic waffles and contemporary performances at the Space this summer. 
Maddid's Nordic Festival is the only Nordic Festival of its kind in London . We aim to promote Nordic contemporary culture to people in the UK as well as creating networking opportunities for its participants whether it be the artists or the audience. This will be an annual festival and this summer is a little taster of what's to come in future years.
Starting from scratch, we aim to build a festival that displays both Nordic artists living in the UK as well as visiting companies from home. This will be a great opportunity to see a piece of Nordic contemporary culture and performance as well as to hang out in this unique east London venue.
Ultimately, Maddid Nordic Festival is starting to build bridges to home.

Benjamin Braddock's got excellent grades, very proud parents and a bright future ahead of him. Benjamin's confused, dissatisfied and not interested in teaching or following in his father's footsteps. When Mrs Robinson, the wife of his father's business partner, asks Benjamin to help her with a zip, a chain of events is set in motion which sees Benjamin fall in love with the daughter of the women he's sleeping with.
