Letters in the Diamond: Queer letters
Experience unique, heartbreaking and deeply in love letters of the most important queers in Scandinavian cultural history brought to life by some of Denmark's best actors.
The letter performance is a tribute to the handwritten, personal letter that is becoming a thing of the past. In reading, song and music, the unique feeling of receiving a letter's moving message is revived. Experience heartbreaking, beautiful, funny, touching, horrifying and deeply personal historical letters from the Royal Danish Library collection.
Letters from Herman Bang, Selma Lagerlöf and others
The letter performance is organised in collaboration with LBTQ+ Denmark. All the selected letters are on the experience of being queer in the world of culture in times when it was often difficult to be so. For the event, a number of actors will read letters from and to, among others, Herman Bang, Kristian Zahrtmann, Selma Lagerlöf and Hans Christian Andersen.
