Aarhus Stories

An Aarhus 2017 Commission
Presented by Den Gamle By, Filmby Aarhus and Aarhus 2017

The history of Aarhus from the Viking Age until today unfolds in epic proportions in this ground-breaking digital extravaganza of historical story-telling. Aarhus Stories is a large-scale cinematic concert experience that gives you the chance to travel back to five defining moments in local history. Experience the Vikings, be awestruck by the amazing emergence of the Industrial Revolution and witness the German Occupation come alive through custom designed animations that take over the south facade of the Cathedral of Aarhus to exhibit history like never before. 

The musical soundtrack, composed by DJ Static and Nicolai Absalon, will be performed live at the event by DJ Static and an ensemble of fabulous soloists and musicians – making this unique sonic time-travelling experience a night to remember. The entire event is inspired by and celebrates the opening of Den Gamle By´s new exhibition, Aarhus Story, and is a commissioned collaboration between Den Gamle By, Filmby Aarhus, the production company M2Film, DJ Static and Aarhus 2017.

Supported by Spar Nord Fonden, Aarhuus Stiftstidendes Fond, C.A.C. Fonden and Vilhelm Kiers Fond.
