Take a break from the December rush and settle in for an evening of atmosphere, togetherness and strong storytelling. Actors Sara Hjort Ditlevsen and Cyron Melville bring listeners a reading from the acclaimed short story collection Nordisk jul, choosing Christmas tales by some of the greatest writers of the North.
The stories capture the joy, expectation and miracles of Christmas, but also the loneliness, disappointments and human conflicts that often lie beneath the surface of the holiday. The collection includes classic texts by Selma Lagerlöf, Herman Bang, Marie Bregendahl, Sigrid Undset and Amalie Skram.
The evening takes place in Fennebergsalen, with subdued lighting, candlelight and a genuine Christmas mood. Coffee, tea and biscuits are included, and the bar sells wine, beer, soft drinks and, of course, mulled wine.
