Somehing That Never Was - En aften om litteratur, kunst og censur

Hvorfor forsøger nogle magthavere gennem historien at kontrollere litteratur og fortællinger? Hvad sker der med samfund, når bestemte stemmer bliver bragt til tavshed? Og hvad betyder det at have frihed til at skrive, skabe og blive hørt?Kom med til en aften på Sydhavnens Bibliotek d. 21. oktober, hvor scenekunst og samtale mødes omkring censur, litteratur, kunstnerisk frihed og ytringsfrihed.Censur af litteratur og kunst og begrænsninger af ytringsfriheden har eksisteret gennem historien og findes stadig i dag. Men hvordan forsøger magthavere at kontrollere fortællinger og stemmer? Hvad sker der med forfattere og kunstnere, når deres værker begrænses, forbydes eller forsøges bragt til tavshed? Og hvordan kan vi genkende nogle af de samme mekanismer på tværs af historien og i dag?Klokken 19.00 Something That Never WasVi begynder med en visning af den ukrainske koreograf og danser Anastasia Krasnoshchokas solodanseværk Something That Never Was. Værket tager afsæt i poesi og musik fra en generation af ukrainske kunstnere - The Executed Renaissance - der blev censureret og forfulgt i 1930’erne.Klokken 19.30 Samtale og Q&AEfter forestillingen fortsætter aftenen med en samtale om censur, litteratur, kunstnerisk frihed og ytringsfrihed med professor og tidl. formand for Dansk PEN (1983-90, 2015-22). Med afsæt i værket ser vi på, hvordan kunstnere og forfattere gennem historien har mødt censur og pres og på, hvad vi kan genkende i nutidige eksempler. Samtalen åbner også for spørgsmål om, hvad det betyder for vores mulighed for at forstå hinanden og verden omkring os.Kom og oplev, lyt eller deltag i samtalen.SOMETHING THAT NEVER WAS - KREDITERINGERProducent: Teater AKoreograf & Performer: Anastasia KrasnoshchokaDramaturg: Maria CornettKomponister: Lucie Cure, Viktor Kosenko, Mykola LeontovychLyddesign: Lucie CureMusic performet af: Lucie Cure, Anastasiia KyshkovskaScenografi og kostumedesign: Dicki LakhaBillede: Sabastian Falck StigsbyStøttet af: William Demant Fonden, Louis Hansen Fonden, Ballettens Venner, Metropolis, København Danser, Sydhavn TeaterLæs mere book gratis billet her EN Something That Never Was – An Evening on Art and CensorshipWhy have some in power throughout history tried to control literature and stories? What happens to societies when certain voices are silenced? And what does it mean to have the freedom to write, create and be heard?Join us at Sydhavn Library on October 21st for an evening where performance and conversation come together around censorship, literature, artistic freedom and freedom of expression.Censorship of literature and art, and restrictions on freedom of expression, have existed throughout history and continue to exist today. But how have some in power tried to control stories and voices? What happens to writers and artists when their work is restricted, banned or silenced? And how can we recognise some of the same mechanisms throughout history and in the present day?The evening begins with a performance of Ukrainian choreographer and dancer Anastasia Krasnoshchoka’s solo work Something That Never Was. The work draws on poetry and music from a generation of Ukrainian artists known as The Executed Renaissance, who were censored and persecuted in the 1930s.After the performance, the evening continues with a conversation about censorship, literature, artistic freedom and freedom of expression with professor og prev. chair of Dansk PEN (1983-90, 2015-22). Taking the performance as a starting point, we will explore how artists and writers throughout history have faced censorship and pressure, and what we can recognise in contemporary examples. The conversation will also open up questions about what this means for our ability to understand one another and the world around us.Come to experience, listen or take part in the conversation.
