FODREISE
- a stage adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s
first, and largely unknown work: Walk from Holmen’s
Canal to the East End of Amager
May 18 - June 4, 2005
|
|
Hans Christian Andersen’s
journey through Amager in 1829 was a voyage to the edge
of his fantasy. He met the strangest creatures, situations
and worlds that pop up again in his later works. Just
as Hans Christian Andersen covers his writing process
step by step, Rolf Heim and Tim Feldmann take a similar
trip with the purpose of finding Hans Christian Andersen
in his works. FODREISE is a surreal and absurd universe
of narrative and dance, poetry and realism.
HCA in his own adventure. HCA in Wonderland. |

The journey starts from Hans Christian Andersen’s garret
of that time in Vingårdstræde, now a room on the
third floor in the department store Magasin, over Langebro where
a home-made Shrovetide mask is found or is it ”the Sleepwalker”?
And finally to Amager where Hans Christian Andersen’s
free imagination took over. It is however a certainty that both
the poet and José end at the water with a view to Saltholmen.
Inge has “followed” José’s
journey through the city and its people and document the miracles
from a down-to-earth level. This documentation is an exhibition
and an installation containing photographs, conversations
and the found objects from the journey.
FEEL/MARK THE CITY. WHERE DOES YOUR FOOT JOURNEY GO?
YOU ONLY SEE MIRACLES IF YOU LOOK FOR THEM...
