Sommarön - A Programme About Barbro Hörberg

Barbro Hörberg in words and song - on the joys and sorrows of life.

Barbro Hörberg found beauty in the scent of a crumpled handkerchief and November's bare tree branches. Her literary song texts made the grey everyday shimmer, even when she wrote about torn sheets in desolate marriages. She stepped onto the male-dominated folk song scene without compromise and created a new kind of narrative text about women's experiences - often about a longing for peace and idleness, quiet moments of intense presence that were missing from her own life.

Actress Catherine Jeppsson tells, through speech and song, of the intimate, sensual and eternal Barbro Hörberg. The programme features well-known and lesser-known songs, including "Eyes Sensitive to Green", "Old Beloved Children" and "Sommarön".

Performing: Catherine Jeppsson and Rune Lindqvist.
