Something Wicked This
Way Comes
Sirkús Soley
Tjarnarbíó, Tjarnargata 12, 101 Reykjavík
14:00, Sunday, January 16
Sirkús Sóley is a wholesome show of
slapstick acrobatics and impressive
juggling that rears its jovial head every
once in a while when the maniacally
grinning lot of them feel like it. They
have performed nationwide to rave
reviews and drawn impressive crowds,
and will convene for the first time this
year on January 16 in Tjarnarbíó.
There’s no telling what to
expect from them this time, but the past
has yielded juggling human towers,
massive balloons swallowing per-
formers whole, hoops tossed, swung,
thrown, flipped, climbed through, ro-
tated and any other verb you can think
of, as well as all the feather tiaras you
could ever want. This will be their last
show this winter, meaning that if you
miss it, it would not only be a shame,
but kind of impractical as well.

Fucking Karaoke, Motherfucker
‘Voice Of The Nation’ Karaoke Marathon
The Nordic House, Sturlugata 5, 101 Reykjavík
Thursday, January 6 – Saturday, January 8 15:00-00:00
Iceland warms up for Christmas with its thirteen yuletide lads coming to town day
by day, and Christmas consequently lasts the thirteen days it takes the assholes to
leave town. While Christmas Eve and Christmas Day became essentially Christian
holidays, the end of Christmas, ‘Þrettándinn’ (literally ‘The Thirteenth’) remains to
this day a fairly pagan tradition, associated with fire, elves, nature and all that crap.
Singer/songwriter/elf Björk and her cohorts have subsequently selected
this day and the two days following it to organize a mass drive to get a bunch of
folks (that’s 35.000 folks, in case you’re wondering how many folks are in a bunch)
to sign a petition that will pressure the government to restore the rights and
ownership of Icelandic nature and natural resources to the Icelandic people. To get
said people off their collective ass, Björk has thrown in the perfect lure, the one
thing sure to attract attention-starved Icelanders by the droves: the ancient art of
karaoke.
That’s right: this weekend, you or any one of your deranged friends
can mosey on down to the Nordic House, grab some soup, crack open a bear and
holler any one of thousands of pop classics accompanied by a live band, a midi
backing track or a programmable pipe organ. And the best part? If you have a ken-
nitala, you get to sign the petition and stick it to the man in the process.
