ENGLISH PROGRAM
Spring has sprung in the city and it is teeming
with life. There are books and authors
everywhere you look. It’s finally time for the
Festival of Literature in Lillehammer!
Among the international highlights are the
Belarusian Nobel Prize nominee Svetlana
Aleksijevitsj, one of the leading figures of British
literature, Julian Barnes, and the young, Danish
poet Yahya Hassan. Read up ahead of time, so
you will get even more out of the
experience when you see the authors on stage.
With a focus on freedom of expression and
authors’ struggles with the words, a geographic
plunge into the social conditions and literature of
Russia and Eastern Europe, the powerful works of
Nordic authors, a dose of new Norwegian drama,
poetry and food on the menu, it is our pleasure
to welcome you to a festival that we hope will not
only entertain, challenge, and inspire you but also
provide you with new knowledge!
PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS
OPENING
The opening performance will be a dramatic
homage to Sigrid Undset, on her birthday. Ellen
Horn has been cast in the role of Undset. Other
cast members are Norwegian authors Herbjørg
Wassmo and Synne Lea, along with Croatian

the Russian punk poetry group Pussy Riot.

Through the literary encounters and lectures you
will have the chance to experience during this
year’s festival, an arc is drawn extending all the
way from the smallest of stories told in personal
voices, to the large social issues about war, peace,
democracy and freedom of expression.
We can offer six festival days and more than 200
scheduled events. So if you are fond of literature
and debate and are looking for a social meeting
place with a focus on books, then Lillehammer is
the place to be on 20–25 May. Feel free to create
your own festival itinerary by selecting your
favourites!

UKRAINE ON FIRE
What are the greatest challenges facing Ukraine today?
Don’t miss the meeting with author Andrej Kurkov, who is
considered one of Ukraine’s foremost contemporary authors.
Kurkov’s literary breakthrough came with the satirical novel
Picknick on the Ice, a dark, absurd comedy from post-Soviet Ukraine. He has in recent times lived in the midst of the
ongoing uprisings and violence in Kiev. Read more on page 15
SVETLANA ALEKSIJEVITSJ
She has written about life following the nuclear accident in
Chernobyl, about Soviet women’s contribution during the Second
World War and about the life of Soviet people in the aftermath of
communism. In the autumn of 2013 she was among those heading
the shortlist of nominees for the Nobel Prize in literature. The
Belarusian author Svetlana Aleksijevitsj will participate in and be
in the spotlight for a number of events during the festival.

THE YEAR’S BJØRNSON LECTURER: SLAVENKA DRAKULIC
Slavenka Drakulić has written about life under
communism, in wartime and violations against women in
article form, novels and non-fiction. As a women’s rights
activist she has had a particular focus on the impact
of the communist regime and subsequent wars on the
situation of women in the Balkans. She left Croatia due
to threats as a result of her unflinching descriptions of
the human beings and cultural and political unrest in the
region. Drakulić will also take part in the Opening
Performance and two author meetings.

Norwegian and two Polish short story authors to meet for
readings and conversation: Mikkel Bugge, Laila Stien, Marek
Bienczyk and Inga Iwasiów. Read more on page 11
FINALE
Loneliness and small town life in Norway are recurring
themes in Bjella’s melancholy lyrics. For Vonde visu (Oh Yeah!)
("Songs of Pain (Oh Yeah!)") he was awarded the Norwegian
music prizes Spellemannprisen, Prøysenprisen and Bendiksenprisen. On his most recent album Heim for å døy (Home to die)
a darker Bjella emerges. With greater variation and a rougher
expression he delivers a modern Norwegian classic.

OPENING PERFORMANCE
The performance will simultaneously pay
homage to Sigrid Undset, on her birthday. We
enter her literary production at a point in time
where a great deal was at stake, when Undset
was forced to leave Bjerkebæk and Norway
due to the German occupation in 1940. From
exile in America, Undset wrote with passionate
engagement letters, articles and lectures on the
themes of oppression, resistance, exile, literature and the necessity of self-expression. Actress
Ellen Horn will perform the role of Undset.
We have invited Norwegian authors Herbjørg
Wassmo and Synne Lea, the Croatian author
Slavenka Drakulić, as well as Maria Aljokhina
from the Russian punk poetry group Pussy Riot
to take part using their own texts.
The performance is beautifully framed by
the music of Ragnhild and Eldbjørg Hemsing.
Dancers from the Lillehammer & Gjøvik

Sliman Mansour is viewed as one of the
foremost painters in Palestine. In his works, the
Israeli occupation is a consistent and recurring
theme, and he is co-author of the book Both
Sides of Peace. Håkon Gullvåg has held a central
position on the Norwegian art scene since his
breakthrough as an artist at Galleri Dobloug
in 1983. He has since 2008 painted a series of
artworks employing motifs and impressions
from acts of war in Gaza and on the West Bank.
About this he has said: “I have painted in a wild
rage.” Mansour and Gullvåg met and developed
their friendship through their paintings and
together organised the exhibition “Situasjoner”

When the feminist group Pussy Riot performed

charged with religious hate and blasphemy.
The trial awoke attention all over the world.
The Oscar-nominated directors followed the

Here songs and texts by two neighbouring
countries’ great troubadours will be presented:
Alf Prøysen, born just before the First World
War, and Cornelis Vreeswijk, born just before
1313
Prøysen from the countryside, from the austere
era when people got married once in a lifetime,
the time of the little people of humble means
in northern Europe, those prone to abstruseness of speech more than hyperbole – the
origin of his songs is in the folk song tradition
of the Norwegian-Swedish small towns and
forests. Vreeswijk from the city, Amsterdam/
Stockholm, with powerful wartime experiences, of an urban generation who married
several times, the international artist influenced
by blues, samba, the Swedish sailor’s waltz,
Finnish tango, French chansons, protest songs
from many countries.
Prøysen with his fear of water, terrified of
being out on the ocean. Vreeswijk an avid
swimmer, open-sea diver, sailboat skipper.
Great contrasts. And nonetheless, great similarities. Prøysen Norway’s Bellman, the founder
of the Norwegian folk song tradition — two
centuries after the Swedish fountainhead, the
work of whom Cornelis Vreeswijk both learned
from and cultivated. Håkon Paulsberg plays the
guitar and performs the songs, Jan Erik Vold is
our literary guide, storyteller and poetry reader.

Andrej Kurkov is considered one of Ukraine’s
most prominent authors and experienced his
great literary breakthrough with the satirical
novel Picknick on the Ice, a dark, absurd
comedy from post-Soviet Ukraine. As a
Ukraine citizen with a Russian background and
language, Kurkov has one foot in each world,
transcending Russian and Ukrainian identities
and affiliations. He has in recent times lived
in the midst of the uprisings and violence in
Kiev, and has written a number of reports from

SVETLANA ALEKSIJEVITSJ
ABOUT THE WOMEN’S WAR
WHAT’S NEW FROM GREAT BRITAIN?
FRIDAY 4:00 PM | KULTURHUSET BANKEN, FESTSALEN
INTERNATIONAL AUTHORS MEETING
British-Somali Nadifa Mohamed took the
reading public by storm with her debut novel
Black Mamba Boy in 2010, in which she tells
her own father’s story from East Africa. She
has now written a second novel also available
in Norwegian translation: The Orchard of
Lost Souls (De tapte sjelers land). Mohamed’s
writing moves between cultures and national
borders, between Somalia and London. She
was chosen for Granta’s list of Great Britain’s
ten most important young authors for this
decade, and thereby represents a new and
important generation of authors. Moderator:
Ellen Svendsen. NOK 100 | Book signing and
sales | The event will be in English
With the documentary book The Unwomanly
Face of War, Svetlana Aleksijevitsj went
against the official Soviet depiction of the
war effort during the Second World War. The
discussion will revolve around how the book
came about, and delve into women’s concrete
experiences from the war, and how these
experiences deviate from those of men. Aleksijevitsj provokes and challenges the Soviet
Union’s idealised self-image and sense of pride
following the victory in this war – here she will
speak about how this was received when her
book was published and present the women’s
own stories. Svetlana Aleksijevitsj in conversation with her Swedish publisher Ola Wallin.

Torgrim Eggen wrote his first article about
David Bowie’s Berlin period for the journal
Ballade in 1983. In this music lecture, based on
the book Berlin. Det 20. århundrets hovedstad,
(”Berlin. The capital of the 20th century”) he
will tell us about the powerful convergence of
Bowie’s musical and political ideas for a period
of a few of years in the shadow of the Wall.
The result was a type of music that set the
tone for an entire generation and which is still
experienced as current, even 37 years later. The
lecture was held for the first time at the House
of Literature in September and has been met
with great enthusiasm on the part of many and
vexed the eardrums of others.

CUBAN AUTHORS MEETING
SATURDAY 6:00 PM | CAFÉ STIFT
Meet two of Cuba’s most prominent and celebrated authors who are visiting Lillehammer
together for the first time. Leonardo Padura is
Cuba’s king of crime fiction. He has received
a number of awards and commemorations for
his prolific literary production and his work
has also been translated into a long list of
languages. He is especially well-known for the
Havana quartet, where we meet the unconventional investigator Mario Conde who brings
us along into a Cuba we had no idea existed.
Wendy Guerra has made her mark internationally especially for her novels, which offer an
unvarnished portrait of the living conditions
in Cuba. Although she is still not allowed to
publish her novels in her own country, she
has established herself as a nationally known
radio voice and poet. Meet the authors, both of
whom are launching books during the festival,
in conversation with literary scholar and Cuba
expert Hans Jacob Ohldieck from the University of Bergen.

Russian drama (2011) by Andrej Zvjaglntsev.
1 hour and 50 min.
The winner of the jury’s prize at Cannes 2011
and the prize for the best film at the Tromsø
International Film Festival, the film asks a
number of fundamental moral questions and
is simultaneously a subtle analysis of today’s
Russia. The tension in the film is propelled
forward by the main character’s dillemma and
the choices she makes. In the exquisite, long
takes, often without dialogue and sparingly
accompanied by Philip Glass’ original music,
director Andrej Zvjagintsev and actress
Nadezhda Markina produce a strong character
study and a nuanced portrait of a woman who
is neither a heroine nor a victim. NOK 100

uønskede, (”The Unwanted”) follows the hero
Óðinn Hafsteinsson and his investigation of
suspicions of child abuse at Krokur, a treatment
facility for boys from the 1970s. The investigations disclose an inhuman regime under which
two boys have died under brutal circumstances. In conversation with Mette Karlsvik.

key position on the Norwegian arts scene since
his artistic breakthrough at Galleri Dobloug in
1983, and his work has been purchased by a
number of important institutions. Since 1995
Gullvåg’s ornamentation of churches has given

artists in the field of church art. Parallel to this
he has received great recognition for his many
portraits of persons of significance in Norway.
In the past ten years Gullvåg has also worked
with the graphic arts and is best known for

A THOUSAND THREADS
– A STORY TOLD IN TEXTILES
With this comprehensive exhibition the
Lillehammer Art Museum and Maihaugen
join forces in throwing light on the history of
textile art’s beautiful creations, from utility
objects to freestanding and thought provoking
contemporary artworks. A selection of textile
works from the 900s up to the 1800s provides
the framework for the Maihaugen presentation.
The Lillehammer Art Museum continues the
story by allowing the textile objects to depart
from the realm of usage and instead take the
pulse of the contemporary expression of today.

23 Nov. 2013 – 1 June 2014.
