Audiowalk: November bursts in May
A musical and poetic audio story on Strynø
November bursts in May is a musical and poetic audio story. It's about Strynø, about falling in love, about the dizzyingly long-awaited spring, and about the autumn that always returns. It's an island hike full of poetry and songs and a classic story about the first great and stormy love. Through the first-person narrator's perspective, we are invited around the landscape of Stryn, so the island's nature becomes a backdrop and co-narrator.
The story
The story and songs are written by the author duo Ingen sange uden hav, who live on Strynø, and are presented as a guest performance in the Baggårdsteatret audiowalks series. The story is read by people from Strynø and is about falling in love, both with another person and with an island.
The route
The approximately 4 km long route starts at the ferry landing at Strynø Harbour and moves through Strynø Town, past Strynø School and down to the Mill, after which you follow a footpath towards the North Island. Act 4 of the story takes place on a small concrete bridge at the end of the path, after which you must continue along Korsvejen to the junction with Nørrevej, where the story ends and you can walk the final stretch back into town.
