NOCTURNE / Marta Weronika Orlikowska
7.30 p.m.
Audio drama accompanies the exhibition “Solstice. Nordic Painting 1880–1910”
It evokes romantic images of the night and comes alive in the shadow of the moonlight. Its shades animate figures standing in the twilight, painted in the chiaroscuro technique. The term ‘nocturne’ in music appears in various languages as early as the Middle Ages, together with horae nocturnae, the nocturnal part of the Liturgy of the Hours, which contains psalms and antiphons to be sung and recited between midnight and dawn. On this evening, it is the poetesses of the north who will say their prayers and address them to their mother lands, to their languages, and to their bodies.
During Marta Weronika Orlikowska's audio drama accompanying the exhibition „Solstice. Nordic Painting 1880–1910”, we will hear poems by authors such as Karin Boye, Nina Björk Arnadottir, Rósa Guðmundsdóttir, Elsa Grave, Inger Hagerup, Harriet Löwenhjelm, Aslaug Lygre, Eeva-Liisa Manner, Aila Meriluoto, Åse-Marie Nesse, Astrid Pettersson, Mirkka Rekola, Marja-Liisa Vartio, Halldis Moren Vesaas, and others.
