LIVE in the Library Garden 1:4 - Lone Hørslev, Anna Neye, Thure Lindhardt and August Høyen
We celebrate, interpret and fantasise about the landscapes that surround us under an open sky in the historic Library Garden with music, statements and new poetry.
Royal Danish Library's successful summer stage LIVE in the Library Garden returns with lots of music, poetry and performance.
Over four late summer Thursdays from the end of August to the beginning of September, you can meet actors, poets, speakers and musicians under the open sky and in a historic setting. The bar is open and we serve up a treat of irresistible, thought-provoking performances.
In the very first edition of Royal Danish Library's summer stage, LIVE in the Library Garden, we will unfold this year's theme: Landscape with music, performance, poetry and polemical speeches. Once again this year, the library has taken the initiative to have new Danish poetry written as a response to our reality here and now.
In the middle of the garden between Royal Danish Library and Christiansborg, the bastions of cultural heritage and power, you can experience the young songwriter August Høyen, a speech from actor and screenwriter Anna Neye, the actor Thure Lindhardt who will interpret the poem Alphabet by Inger Christensen, and the premiere of a new lyrical work by the poet Lone Hørslev.
The cafe's pop-up bar is open, and you are welcome to bring your own picnic blanket or camping chair to sit on.

Participants
August Høyen
"Every year there is one voice at Spot Festival that you want to put in your inner pocket and take home with you. This year, the quiet revelation was called August Høyen", said Politiken after August Høyen had played a fantastic concert at the Spot Festival. His songs are characterised by their poetic texts with fragility and presence, where precisely the cohesion between text and music is the central focus.
Lone Hørslev
Lone Hørslev is an author, singer, songwriter and poet. She has a versatile writing behind her and she has received a number of grants and awards, including the Norwegian Arts Foundation's 3-year scholarship and the Michael Strunge prize. Her latest poetry collection Alt er data (2018) is a fully cast and musical collection of poems about our modern life in a thoroughly digitised world.
Anna Neye
Anna Neye is an actress and screenwriter. She graduated from the Arts Educational School in London in 1995 and in 2005 graduated from the screenwriting programme at the Danish Film School. Anna Neye has written scripts for several TV series and radio dramas. Together with Lærke Winter, she was in the popular satire programme, Normalerweize.
Most recently, she has been a screenwriter and actor in the film Viften, a film that, with equal parts seriousness and absurd comedy, challenges the Danes' amnesia when it comes to colonial history.
Thure Lindhardt
Thure Lindhardt graduated in 1998 from the Actors' School at Odense Theatre and throughout his career has had significant roles in both Danish and international films, TV series and theatre performances. Thure Lindhardt has received several awards for his acting, including Reumert's Talent Award, the Hartmann Foundation's Diploma Award and Teaterpokalen.
The event is part of the Golden Days Festival 2023

Every year in September, the festival deals with a new theme from a number of different perspectives, professional disciplines and aesthetic starting points. This year's theme is 'In the countryside'.
