In the colorful and bustling world of music festivals and concerts, where the atmosphere is electrifying and the crowds are massive, a unique superhero emerges on roller skates. Tanja Bjørn Zabell, a vivacious Dane dressed in bright orange, has become a beloved figure for her life-saving actions and her striking resemblance to the Mexican character "El Chapulín Colorado."
Tanja, known for her bubbly personality and unwavering dedication, can be seen weaving through the crowds at various events, carrying a small kit labeled "Antidote." This kit, containing life-saving medication, has made her a guardian angel for many young people who find themselves in dangerous situations due to drug overdoses. With her keen eye and quick reflexes, Tanja has successfully administered the antidote on numerous occasions, preventing potential tragedies and earning her a slew of affectionate nicknames from the grateful festival-goers.
Whether she's called "Tangerine Tonic," "Roller Rescue," "Citrus Savior," or "Antidote Angel," Tanja's impact is undeniable. However, the moniker that perhaps best captures her spirit and mission is "Roller Orange Guardian," the unofficial ambassador for antidotes at large gatherings. Her presence is both reassuring and cheerful, a beacon of hope in her vibrant costume and roller skates.
Tanja's inspiration for her persona comes from her self-proclaimed clumsiness, reminiscent of El Chapulín Colorado. "I see my character as inspired by El Chapulín Colorado because I'm quite clumsy, and when I lived in Argentina, people used to call me that. I could suddenly fall over," she explains with a laugh.
The most recent event where Tanja made an appearance as her superhero alter ego was at the Roskilde Festival. At this renowned music festival, she was once again seen in her bright orange outfit, gliding through the crowds on her roller skates, and carrying her lifesaving antidote kit. Tanja's presence at Roskilde Festival not only highlighted her commitment to ensuring the safety of festival-goers but also cemented her status as a beloved and essential figure in these large gatherings.
Living in the eclectic neighborhood of Christiania in Copenhagen, Tanja has a diverse background as an actress, dancer, and reporter. She spent time in Buenos Aires, where she returned to participate in an international squatters' march at the Obelisk, only to find it canceled. Despite this, her connection to Argentina remains strong, adding to her rich tapestry of experiences.
Tanja is also the host of Radio Udsholt, where every summer, she collaborates with radio presenter Thomas Vibe and TV chef Claus Meyer to create magical experiences in the forests near Udsholt Beach. This event, set on the historic grounds of AP Møller, is a testament to her multifaceted talents and her ability to bring joy and creativity to any setting.

Tanja Bjørn Zabell, the Roller Orange Guardian, continues to inspire and protect, embodying the spirit of a true modern-day superhero with a heart as bright as her costume.
