Letter Performance: The Journey
Experience or relive unique, experience-hungry and homesick travel letters from the most important cultural figures in Scandinavian cultural history brought to life by a number of fantastic actors.
“My own friend. Why am I starting to write to you just today, when for so long you have sworn me into the hottest hell because I never wrote a line? I had decided all along that I wanted to write to you today - when the whole hubbub was finally over and the 'Journey' had begun."
This is how Herman Bang writes in a letter on 6 January, 1912, putting ink to paper on exactly the topic this autumn's letter performance is about: the journey. In recitation, song and music, adventurous, homesick, beautiful, funny, touching, horrifying and deeply personal letters from the Royal Danish Library's collection are brought to life by a number of fantastic actors.
