Så fuglene synger

Denne anmeldelse blev oprindeligt publiceret på teateravisen.dk

’Har du hørt en fugl synge’ er en særdeles vellykket version af H.C. Andersens ’Nattergalen’, der får store som små til at grine, så tårerne triller – vel at mærke uden at give køb på hverken originalens alvor eller poesi.

’Har I hørt det?’, ’Har I hørt det?’

Stykkets fem skuespillere kommer alle myldrende bag os, ned fra aftenforestillingens flotte bølgekulisse, imens de ivrigt peger og gætter på hvilke af os, der muligvis har (hørt det).

Det er umiddelbart temmelig uklart for os, hvad det er, vi i så fald skulle have hørt, men med titlen in mente har de snu nu alligevel en anelse om, hvad det hele drejer sig om.

Historien begynder

Rekvisitter findes frem fra kedelige grå kasser fra den enkle scene og eventyret om den lille nattergal og Kinas kejser tager form med diverse remedier og godt med teater-overdrevet-kropssprog. En tværfløjte, en tekande, en smuk guldrobe og fine små tavler med kinesiske tegn akkompagnerer fortællingen:

'Kejserens have var så stor, at end ikke gartneren vidste hvor den endte', lyder det med alvorsfuld schwung, mens nattergalesangen nynnes med højstemte, orientalsk-lydende gentagelser og sætter en flot poetisk stemning, der får lov at agere rød tråd igennem alle de øvrige fjollerier.

Dette blandes yderligere op med en begejstret, næsten overstadig fysisk energi hos skuespillerne, og der skal lyde stor ros herfra for den modige cocktail. Det klæder forestillingen at gøre så god brug af såvel koreografi som musikalitet.

Også sproget får smilet frem: ’Find fuglen! Ellers skal hele hoffet dunkes på maven – efter de har spist middag!’ bliver der ’højkejserligt’ befalet, og alle må ud at lede efter ’den tarvelige møgstruds’. Så er vi i gang.

Forfængelighed / Forgængelighed

Laura Skjoldborg er en fin, bly kokkepige, og Rikke Westi gør det godt som goddag-mand-økseskaft musikmester. Særligt når logikken bliver helt ’kejserens nye klæ’r’-agtig, som da hun, på trods af hvad alle kan se og høre, flot proklamerer, at den kunstige fugl er lige så god som den ægte – 'og så var det sådan'.

Men ellers er det ikke mindst mændene, der har fået de gode roller: Nikolaj Bjørn-Andersen er med formidabel mimik en bragende udgave af den barnlige kejser, som nemt bliver urimeligt arrig eller latterligt tudevorn, hvis ikke han får sin vilje øjeblikkeligt.

Michael Slebsager spiller den vimsede kammertjeners kække slesken for sin kejser og hans imposante selvfedme overfor alle andre helt ud med sin lette fysik, gule accessories og attitude, så det er en fryd.

Dette balanceres forment med Nicolai Jørgensen i rollen som varm og ægte nattergal, der har en helt anden dybde (og bredde), end hele det fisefornemme, forfængelige hof , der kun går op i overflade og pynt. Undertegnede er også vild med, at døden – i form af en maske, et lagen og et par lange, hvide knoglearme – bliver levendegjort, så stærkt.

Hos H.C. Andersen går det mørke ubesværet side om side med det poetiske og det lyse, og det har Charlotte Munksø fanget virkelig skarpt med denne kække opsætning, der på trods af sin lethed holder godt fast i originalens seriøse morale og pointer.

I den forstand er der slet ikke taget så mange friheder ift. det oprindelige Nattergal-eventyr. Helt i H.C. Andersens ånd spilles der på hele paletten.

Nattergalen / The Nightingale

Solen skinnede ind af vinduerne til ham, da han vågnede styrket og sund; ingen af hans tjenere var endnu kommet tilbage, thi de troede, han var død, men nattergalen sad endnu og sang.

When he awoke, strengthened and restored, the sun shone brightly through the window; but not one of his servants had returned– they all believed he was dead; only the nightingale still sat beside him, and sang.

- H. C. Andersen; 1843

[yourgreatesthits2006]

“You must always remain with me,” said the emperor. “You shall sing only when it pleases you; and I will break the artificial bird into a thousand pieces.”

“No; do not do that,” replied the nightingale; “the bird did very well as long as it could. Keep it here still. I cannot live in the palace, and build my nest; but let me come when I like. I will sit on a bough outside your window, in the evening, and sing to you, so that you may be happy, and have thoughts full of joy. I will sing to you of those who are happy, and those who suffer; of the good and the evil, who are hidden around you. The little singing bird flies far from you and your court to the home of the fisherman and the peasant’s cot. I love your heart better than your crown; and yet something holy lingers round that also. I will come, I will sing to you; but you must promise me one thing.”

Excerpt from 'Nattergalen,' Hans Christian Andersen (1843).

Danish litterature reccomendations

Whenever i see anyone recommend danish literature it’s always H. C. Andersen. And while H. C. Andersen is great, there’s just so much more to danish literature. 

Therefore i spend my saturday evening on compiling my danish faves, organized by era, in a post.

Folk songs/tales 

Queen Dagmar lays sick in Ribe(Dronning Dagmar ligger udi Ribe syg). 12th century(some however believe it to be written in th 14th century). Queen Dagmar, wife of Valdemar Sejr, was seen as a God fearing and pious woman. This folk tale is about her death as she’s giving birth to her second son.

The power of the harp(Harpens kraft).15th century. Vilmunds bride is afraid of crossing the bridge, blidebro, before their wedding, as her two sisters fell into the water crossing it. Vilmund assures her nothing will happen, but when the day comes, her horse slips and she fall into the water. Ramund. 16th century. Folk song of swedish origin, about the quick witted and strong Ramund. Despite supposedly stems from the 16th century, it has got some references to nordic mythology such as when Ramund kills seven jætter/jötunn. It’s a very cliche story about a man who ends up taking the princess and half the kingdom.

Rationalism

Jeppe on the mountain(Jeppe paa Bierget). 1722. Ludwig Holberg. The baron decided to play a prank on the drunk peasant, Jeppe. Erasmus Montanus. 1747. Ludwig Holberg. Rasmus goes to Copenhagen to get a formal education. When he returns, to his hometown, he insists on being called the latinized version of his name; Erasmus Montanus. His beliefs about the earth being round tests his relationship with his fiancee, Lisbeth and the other villagers.

The romantic era

Guldhornene. 1802. Adam Oehlenschläger. The poem which kicked off the romantic era in Danish litterature. The tinderbox(Fyrtøjet). 1835. H. C. Andersen. A witch asks a soldier, to help her get back her magic tinderbox. He ends up keeping the tinderbox. The little mermaid(Den lille havfrue). 1837. H. C. Andersen. You all know this one. The ugly duckling(Den grimme ælling). 1843. H. C. Andersen. A swan thinks he’s an ugly duck. You all know thi sone as well probably. The nightingale(Nattergalen). 1843. H. C. Andersen. The Emperor of China adores the nightingales song, but wants it to sing for him all the time, so he acquires a mechanic one to take its place. The Little match-seller(Den lille Pige med Svovlstikkerne). 1845. H. C. Andersen. A young poor orphan sells matches on Christmas Eve. Very bitter sweet story tbh. The Shadow(Skyggen). 1847. H. C. Andersen. Haven’t read thi sone yet, but i’ve heard that it’s a must read, and it really does sound like it. Enten – Eller. 1843. Søren Kierkegaard. Philosophy, yadayada, existentialism.

The Modern Breakthrough

Lucky Per(Lykke Per). 1898. Henrik Pontoppidan. Per leaves his protestant family, to study engineering. His enthusiasm and creative ideas aren’t received well by most. This is a fave. Eagle’s flight(Ørneflugt). 1899. Henrik Pontoppidan. The ugly duckling, but make it sad and with an eagle. The last ball gown(Den sidste Balkjole). 1887. Herman Bang. For a gay writer, Herman Bang surely did write a lot about women. This one is about a woman who sews her own ball gown, and realises that she has grown old. Tine. 1889. Herman Bang. War, sex and suicide, need i say more. Ved Vejen. 1898. Herman Bang. Katinka craves the love and passion, her husband Bai isn’t abel to give her. She finds this in the neighbour, Huus. When he leaves the country, Katinka falls sick.

Neo-realismen

The Fall of The King(Kongens fald). 1901. Johannes. V. Jensen. Mikkel Thøgersen meets King Christian II by accident. They end up following each other through war and peace.

The post-war era

The Patridge(Agerhønen). 1947. Martin A. Hansen. Different short stories by Martin A. Hansen. All very good reads. Some harder to get through than others. The Liar(Løgneren). 1950. Martin A. Hansen. Johannes Vig lives on the island Sandø. He’s a bit confused about everything and has a slight alcohol problem. The ethical demand(Den etiske fordring). 1956. K. E. Løgstrup. Existential theology.

Modernism

Zappa. 1977. Bjarne Reuter. Coming of age story about a group of young boys.

The boys from St. Petri(Drengene fra Sankt Petri). 1991. Bjarne Reuter. Inspired by the actions of the Churchill club during the German occupation of Denmark.

Postmodernism og minimalism

Radiator. 1997. Jan Sonnergaard. A series of short stories about people living low key sad lifes. Lots of reading between the lines, not so much conversation. If a human were to stop by(Hvis der skulle komme et menneske forbi). 2017. Thomas Korsgaard. My most reason read. I don’t know if it has been translated to english yet, but i really hope so. About a teenager growing up on the danish farmsides (Basically about living in a danish red neck family) Afdeling Q. 2007-2019. Jussi Adler Olsen. If you like nordic crime shows, you will like Jussi Adler Olsen’s Afdeling Q series.

[Fic] “In Death’s Garden” - The Nightingale

Authors have been revealed for the main Remix archive, and since events conspired against my attempt to write a Madness ficlet, I only have the one fic to announce. So!

-----

In Death's Garden (1693 words) Fandom: Fairy Tales & Related Fandoms, Nattergalen | The Nightingale - Hans Christian Andersen Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Additional Tags: Remix

Summary: Death's garden is not a place one can normally reach by looking for it, though all find their way there in the end. However, sometimes when one begins to travel with no clear destination, one finds oneself in strange places. So it was with the nightingale when she slipped from the Emperor's palace in the confusion of her mechanical copy's first performance.

[Remixed from The Nightingale at Dawn by Quillori]

-----

This is a slightly unusual remix for me, in that it's as much in conversation with the original canon as with the work I'm remixing. I think the only other time I did that was in 2017, when I remixed Gramarye's Haroun and the Sea of Stories fic The Monster at the End of This Book into Turn the Page (Don't Fear the Ending). Haroun and the Sea of Stories is an awfully fairy-tale/folktale influenced canon in its own right, so possibly it's just something about fairy-tales influencing the paths my mind turns down. *hands* Look, brains are weird and I overdosed on fairy-tales as a child; these are not new developments.

Anyway, Quillori writes a lot of folktale-based, myth-based, and song-based fics, which is not my usual fannish wheelhouse. But I stuck fairy-tales in my offer this year for a reason, and was quite pleased to be matched on that criterion. I spent a week or so reading through Quillori's works, but kept circling back to The Nightingale at Dawn. The imagery in that vignette is stunning, the mood transition is incredibly deft, and I was also a super morbid child, so the mix of fairy-tales and DEATH is one that was practically hand-blended to sneak under my defenses. *wry*

So I went into the remix with the goal of echoing that mood transition, but I also wanted to do something a bit more narrative because A) extending a vignette to a thousand words is HARD and B) there was no way to do that without it turning into a lesser reflection of Quillori's work, which is not really the point of a remix. The point is to shake the component elements up until they fall into a new configuration. So I started wondering about the singing bird, and why this one note of life/change was present in the garden at all. Which led me to reread Andersen's story, at which point the related questions of "How does the nightingale know exactly what will make Death homesick for his/its garden?" and "What was the nightingale doing between escaping the palace and returning to cure the Emperor?" fit neatly together with my question about the singing bird in Quillori's fic and I had a narrative.

Then it was just writing, and also a smidge of research on traditional Chinese graveyards because I wanted to kind of blend Andersen's very European imagery (which Quillori echoed and expanded) into something a tiny bit more relevant to the Chinese setting.

...

Also, as I said in my author's note on AO3, I did a smidge of linguistic research in regard to pronouns, because the translations of Andersen's story I found online used different ones for the nightingale. To summarize, "it" would probably be the most grammatically faithful to the original, but I went with "she" for personal reasons.

Svinedrengen /The Swineherd 

“Jeg er kommet til at foragte dig, du!” sagde han. “Du ville ikke have en ærlig prins! Du forstod dig ikke på rosen og nattergalen, men svinedrengen kunne du kysse for et spilleværk! Nu kan du have det så godt!”

I have now learnt to despise you,” he said. “You refused an honest prince; you did not appreciate the rose and the nightingale, but you did not mind kissing a swineherd for his toys. You have no one but yourself to blame!”

- H. C. Andersen; 1841
