November 15 at 20:00 Tjarnarbíó ‘Black’ & ‘No Title’ by Mette Edvardsen In this Reykjavík Dance Festival performance, Mette plays with negative space, making things appear. She becomes the mediator between the stage and the audience. She engages in dialogue about language and the limits it places on reality. Metta asks, through dance, the bigger questions in life. November 21 at 19:30 ‘Kate’ by Lost Watch When 2,500 British troops invaded and occupied Reykjavík in 1940, women began to look favorably in their direction, thus sparking moral outrage. ‘Kate’ tells the story of an Icelandic family during the war, their interactions with their wayward daughter and a helpful lodger, ultimately exploring the relationship and history between Britain and Iceland. The show will also feature live music. November 26 & 27 and December 3,4,5 & 6 at 20:30 ‘Nazanin’ by Marta Nordal Nazanin fled Iran after the 2009 Presidential election.

November 20 at 19:30 ‘Rebel Rebel - A Retrospective' by Snæbjörn Brynjarsson & Ragnheiður Sigurðardóttir A writer at heart, Snæbjörn expresses the words he cannot write through dance as part of the Reykjavík Dance Festival. November 20 at 21:30. ‘This conversation is missing a point’ by Berglind Rafns & Unnur Elísabet This new Icelandic dance piece by Berglind Rafns and Unnur Elísabet is a comical take on how people can be misunderstood. The whole show is in gibberish. November 17 at 20:30 ‘The Valley’ by Inga & Rósa Part of the Reykjavík Dance Festival, ‘The Valley’ is a multi-medium comedy/horror dance performance that explores the concept of ambiguity and its effect on the experience of the audience. It features a sensory journey where not all is what it seems; monstrous, robotic, insect-like and lifeless bodies appear on stage, and it is not always clear whether they are real or just a shadow of what was. November 22 & 29 at 20:30 Ongoing Arion Banki Georg Guðni Exhibition Selected works (1985-2009) from Georg Guðni's will be shown, some of which have never been shown in Iceland before.

On permanent view Hverfisgallerí ‘Varp’ by Sigurður Árni Sigurðsson Sigurður is showing a selection of his works at Hverfisgallerí. Runs until November 14 i8 Gallery Arna Óttarsdóttir Exhibit Arna’s textile exhibit is centred around one idea that she rejected when it was in its infancy, called “Stelputeppi” (“Women’s Blanket”).
