DEATH IN VENICE – the return of the repressed – is a radical, almost wordless, visually and musically powerful reinterpretation of Thomas Mann's classic. The characters are written out, and what remains is the existential nerve of the work.

Death In Venice

Republique

Barbara is one of the great love novels in Nordic literature. It is from 1939, written by Faroese Jørgen-Frantz Jacobsen and tells the story of the Danish theologian Poul's erotic obsession with Barbara, Thorshavn's legendary femme fatale. She is known locally as a notorious seductress and infamous for her stormy relationships with men. Men like Danish-Protestant Poul, who is lifted for a time on the roaring waves of love and then drowns in the dark madness of disappointed desire.
