Reykjavík Grapevine - 23.05.2014, Qupperneq 47

Wide Slumber
ISK 3.900 ISK 20:00
Tjarnarbíó, Tjarnargata 12 (E3)
Inspired by Angela Rawling’s poetry book ‘Wide Slumber
For Lepidopterists,’ four musicians, three singers and a
performer come together in a performance that blurs all
boundaries between dreams and reality. In interpreting
Angela’s book which alikened sleep to the life cycle of
moths, rising, transforming, getting attracted to a bright
light before fizzling away, the three singers take on the
roles of a somnologist, lepidopterist and an insomniac. LC

Stúdentakjallarinn - Háskólatorg, Sæmundargata (H3)
Known for having been side by side with Jimmy Fallon
on the Late Night Show and a correspondent of the
Daily Show, comedian Tom Shillue makes his way to
Iceland, but not for the first time. Having toured Iceland
with Jim Gaffigan, Tom must have taken a liking to
the country as he’s performing for free! He’s joined
by Icelandic comedian Rökkvi Vésteinsson, whose
inappropriate jokes will leave you gasping for air, be it
from laughter or rage. YN

Festival of the Sea
ISK Free!
Reykjavík’s West Harbour, Grandagarður (C3)
This festival originates from the traditional Icelandic
Sjómannadagur, or the awkwardly named “Seaman’s
Day.” Come and celebrate its 75th anniversary in true
sea-style. Get your face painted like a pirate, dance
to your favourite sea shanties with the smell of fish
sharply embedded in your nostrils, send a message in
a bottle, learn to skin a fish like a true sailor and watch
the Icelandic rescue squad re-enact a rescue at sea in
Reykjavík harbour. LC
