OM FORESTILLINGEN
En elegi er en klagesang, der begræder det mistede. I ’elegier over jorden’ kalder sangen til opvågning i et opgør med vores 2000 år gamle kulturkristne grundsyn om, at alt er skabt fra oven. En indstilling, der i den grad har præget vores natursyn, affortryllet naturen og medvirket til uhensigtsmæssig rovdrift på jordens ressourcer.
I ’elegier over jorden’ vender antikkens Persefone tilbage for at føde i Glyptotekets Festsal. Persefone er dronning i dødsriget og datter af landbrugets gudinde Demeter, og hun kommer til de levendes verden for at føde. Ligesom afgrødernes regeneration er hendes fødsel langstrakt: over ni måneder følger vi hendes fødselsarbejde sammen med et kor af unge piger, der arbejder i markerne og kæmper, mens nattefrost, tørke og støvstorme truer høsten, før klagesangene til sidst forløses i en forårs- og livsbebudelse.
Forestillingen bearbejder spørgsmålet: Hvordan genopretter vi en forbindelse til naturen, så vi begynder at tilføre den omsorg frem for at udpine den?
Forestillingen er baseret på Sofie Isager Ahls digtsamling ’elegier over jorden’ (Forlaget Virkelig, 2026).

‘Earth Elegies’ – a performance concert at the Glyptotek
The Glyptotek and Kind of Opera present ‘Earth Elegies’ – a new interdisciplinary performance concert, which reinterprets the classic myth of Persephone and equates the labor of childbirth with the regeneration of nature. Performed by soprano and composer Katinka Fogh Vindelev and 70 singers from Copenhagen Girls' Choir.

ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
An elegy is a lament that mourns what has been lost. In ‘Earth Elegies’ the song calls for awakening, in a confrontation with our 2000-year-old cultural Christian view that everything is created from above. An attitude that has so greatly influenced our view of nature, disenchanted nature and contributed to inappropriate exploitation of the resources of the Earth.
In ‘Earth Elegies’, the Greek goddess Persephone returns to the Central Hall of the Glyptotek to give birth. Persephone is goddess of the underworld and daughter of Demeter, goddess of agriculture and harvest. Like the regeneration of crops, her birth is a long one: we follow her labor of birth over nine months together with a choir of young girls who work in the fields and struggle, while night frosts, drought and dust storms threaten the harvest, before the laments are finally released in a proclamation of spring and life.
The performance addresses the question: How do we restore a connection to nature, so that we begin to care for itinstead of tormenting it?
The performance is based on Sofie Isager Ahl’s poetry suite Earth Elegies (Forlaget Virkelig, 2026).
