Moderne vrede by Torben Westergaard

Modern Anger is a musical journey of discovery into the landscape of anger. It consists of six songs that take love, the loss of love, and the anger in its wake seriously. This is music that you can weave fingers with when you need it the most - for example, when you are so angry, no one else can stand you.

Modern Anger has emerged in a collaboration between composer/bassist Torben Westergaard, author Ursula Andkjær Olsen, actress/singer Rikke Bilde and theater director Charlotte Munksø.

A collaboration that repeatedly drills itself further into the contrasting universe of anger.

Modern Anger is about anger as a state, a feeling that cannot be folded into the classic arc shape. It keeps coming back, pulling away and returning, in an infinity. The possible advantage in this 'modern' approach is that these feelings are not something you have to get rid of in the name of emotion-frightened harmonization. This consideration suggests that anger exists and that both the individual AND the community must learn to deal with.

It is our hope with Modern Anger to create such a space - with room to be in anger. Together.
