Together with Anna Lawaetz, I have published an article on the Danish interwar playwright and critic, Svend Borberg, in the Peripeti special issue on Danish theatre. The article, “Svend Borberg: Punktummet, der ikke blev sat. Uopdagede værker fra en dramatiker med europæisk udsyn”, can be read here: https://tidsskrift.dk/peripeti/article/view/134023/179010
From the abstract:
The article focuses on two hitherto undiscovered, unrealized works by one of the most remarkable, and controversial Danish playwrights and theatre critics from the interwar period, Svend Borberg. Borberg was a rare modernist and internationally oriented voice in Danish theatre, and the two works, the biblical comic opera Susanna and the pantomimic ballet, Stambul brænder [Stambul Burning] adds not only an important missing link in Borberg’s oeuvre, but also in those of his collaborators, the composers Knudåge Riisager and Alexander Tscherepnin.
