Peter Madsen and Henning Kure — the two key figures behind the beloved Danish Valhalla comic series — come together at Nørrebro Teater for an in-depth conversation about Norse mythology. The talk is part of the special programme accompanying the theatre production KATARSIS, exploring themes from the play.
The discussion centres on The Völva's Prophecy (Völuspá), Ragnarök, and the lasting significance of these ancient stories. Key questions include: what does the primordial völva actually tell us about the end and renewal of the world? Is Ragnarök a story of destruction or creation? And why do these myths continue to captivate modern audiences?
The conversation is moderated by Lauge Hendriksen, journalist and host of the podcast Mythos, which he co-hosts with cultural historian Sophus Helle and which explores myths from around the world.
The event is conducted in Danish and takes place at 18:00 at Nørrebro Teater, Copenhagen.
