Have you ever battled and captured monsters on your phone? Now you can step into the game in the real world!
Around the Town Square, a group of digital monsters has broken free. They now wander dreamily between 2D and 3D in a parallel reality, and it’s up to you to help them return to their lives behind the screen – where they truly belong! But be careful – the game is full of hidden dangers. Some monsters might not be so willing to find their way back…

UNITY
By Eflex in collaboration with Global Legacy
Age: from 6 years
Torvet
Friday at 17.00-17.30
A high-energy dance performance inspired by a Ghanaian tale about the broom as a spiritual tool – used to sweep away energies and carry stories with it. In Ghanaian, the word for broom means “many straws” – a single straw may break, but bound together they are strong. The broom thus becomes a symbol of collective strength and unity.
At the heart of Unity is Ghanaian dancer, choreographer, and teacher Michael Sarpong, known as Eflex. He is internationally recognized as a pioneer of the Azonto dance style and celebrated for his deep cultural knowledge and dedication to Afro dance.
