in brief
Two Voiceless Ironists vs. the 2026 General Election
A light – and perhaps somewhat cheap – dish, but who has the energy for more after four weeks of campaigning?
kortkritik
To stemmeløse ironikere vs. folketingsvalget 2026
En let – og nok også letkøbt – anretning, men hvem orker mere efter fire ugers valgkamp?
in brief
Vocal Desire Between Deadpan and Renaissance
Before you know it, an hour has passed in which Vestergård, Sandberg, and ÆTLA have slipped poetry, madrigals, and new vocal music down the throat of a young audience. It can actually be quite fun!
kortkritik
De laver snigeren: vokal lyst mellem deadpan og renæssance
Vestergård, Sandberg og ÆTLA har sneget digte, madrigaler og ny vokalmusik ned i halsen på et ungt publikum. Det kan faktisk godt være sjovt!
review
We’ve Never Needed Pulsar Festival More
The major Danish composer festivals are starting to resemble each other more and more, but Pulsar Festival stands apart. Here, there is still more string quartet than performance art, making Pulsar an important alternative platform for new music – if only the festival itself would fully realize it.
kritik
Vi har aldrig haft mere brug for Pulsar Festival
De største danske komponistfestivaler ligner hinanden mere og mere, men Pulsar Festival skiller sig ud. Her er der stadig mere strygekvartet end performance, og det gør Pulsar til en vigtig alternativ platform for ny musik. Det skal festivalen bare lige indse.
review
What Happens When the Mainstream Falls Short?
Marina Abramović lets herself be murdered, burned, and thrown to her death in »Seven Deaths« at the Cisterns – but the operatic canon voiced by Maria Callas tempers the radicality that has otherwise carried her art through an entire lifetime.
kritik
Hvad sker der, når mainstream kommer til kort?
Marina Abramović lader sig myrde, brænde og styrte i »Seven Deaths« i Cisternerne – men operakanonens stemme fra Maria Callas dæmper den radikalitet, der ellers har båret hendes kunst gennem et helt liv.
kortkritik
Jeg er et tomt højhus, hvor smerten sidder i alle vægge
Det vigtige projekt lykkedes med samskabelsen og samtalen, men måske ikke helt med sit kunstneriske udtryk
in brief
I Am an Empty High-rise, Where the Pain Sits in Every Wall
It seemed as if this important project succeeded with its co-creation and its conversations, but perhaps not entirely with its artistic expression
in brief
When Joik Meets Drill
Considered as a documentary film, »Takkuuk« is fragmentary, chaotic and directionless, which is a shame, because the young musicians seem to have much more to offer
kortkritik
Når joik møder drill
Som dokumentarfilm betragtet er »Takkuuk« fragmentarisk, kaotisk og retningsløs, og det er ærgerligt, for de unge musikere lader til at have mere at byde på
