READING BOOKS IS NOT TRENDY. WHAT A DISASTER!
Most people can probably think of books that have been pivotal in their lives. After all, it has been a decisive approach to the understanding of both our own lives and the lives of others.
And no film or series can compare to our own private reading of stories where we ourselves must interpret and imagine the happiness and misfortunes of others.
This is a performance that celebrates reading books.
The Secret Library is a beautiful space for children and adults. The story is secret. Bodil Alling narrates, accompanied by the most beautiful images and Søren Søndberg's wonderful music and sound universe.
★★★★
"Completely enchanting storytelling. Bodil Alling tells the story with presence, empathy and soul, while she constantly looks around at the crowd of spectators – adults and children. We can almost smell the scents of her words"
