    GUDRUNS GRIEF

    Kati Arikoski & Elisabeth Hanke
    in works by Peter Heise

    Christians Kirke, Copenhagen, 13.november , 8pm

    Experience Beautiful music when we perform these fantastic songs
    written by Peter Heise, with the text from the elder Edda in the
    Nordic Mythology.
    It is all about Accept, Sorrows, Death and Grief. How do we express our sorrows?
    Is this allowed in modern society to cry when sadness is overwhelming?
    Questions arise….. as always! Why is it, that we supress so many feelings,
    when a different angle on the need to cry is all that it takes?
    This has to do with accept and trust and faith in other people and the
    world we live in. Are we able to create a world, were we have faith in eachother?
    Where it is acceptable and common knowledge to shed a tear when overwhelmed
    whithout getting 800 labels on your back , that you are strange, awkward, the feeling
    we do not know how to react to her when she cries, we donot know how to give
    comfort……. Acceptance of humans, to create the space for a warm and loving atmosphere
    where joy comes in……. do you see that when walking in the streets? A smile on a face in Fakta,
    We need accept to be allowed to live as humans, to put focus on warm feelings, inside ourselves.
    To feel Good, to accept and allow ourselves to feel and express our feelings.

    Here is the message for you, in the hands and voice of Elisabeth Hanke
    and Kati Arikoski
