The title poem of Søren Ulrik Thomsen’s latest anthology, Shaken Mirror, attempts to describe a beloved’s look, inaccurately distorted through the elusive nature of a mirror’s materiality.

The poem demonstrates the limits of language itself when the poet fails to truthfully capture a specific moment in time. Kim Brandstrup’s ballet continues where language cannot, and in the movement of Brandstrup’s dancers the words of one of Denmark’s most beloved poets begins to take form on the theatre’s stage.

Make your voice heard as an expat

In my last op-ed, I made the case that we, expats living in Denmark, need to step up if we want to tackle the headaches that seem baked into expat life—e.g., counterintuitive laws and endless paperwork. With almost 16% of Denmark’s population made up of internationals, we actually have the numbers to influence real change.
