On various days in June 2019, under the motto ’20:21’, L21 is presenting performance offerings right beside the Lion Monument. 20.21 is the time when the shorter performances begin, or else it accompanies the final part of lengthy performances. Then you can chat about the performance over a cool drink and while away the evening.
