The Sound of South Fyn

South Fyn has always been full of good stories. Now, some of them have been recorded, and in the future, more and more will.

Here is an overview over the most exciting audio stories about South Fyn.

Invisible Theatre

The Svendborg-based theatre BaggårdTeatret has created a unique sonic experience: three audio walks known collectively as Invisible Theatre. This type of play is on the bill whenever you feel like it. The app-based audio walks use the landscapes of South Fyn and the islands as backdrop. Wellknown actors provide the voices, and the action starts when you press play and start walking – and then you just have to do as instructed.

Against The Current On Langeland

‘Against the Current’ is about the famous scientist Hans Christian Ørsted. The story is told from the perspective of Ørsted as a 12-year-old boy in Rudkøbing on Langeland. From here, the story takes you on a fantastic expedition during which you encounter historical scientists such as Albert Einstein, Inge Lehmann, Marie Curie, and Tycho Brahe. Follow in the footsteps of young Hans Christian Ørsted as he searches for that which no one can see. The 10 km walk is divided into 4 sections/acts and starts in Rudkøbing on Langeland.

Beneath The Ice In Faaborg

Set in the amazing ice-age hill country of Svanninge Bjerge, ‘Beneath the Ice’ is a story of art and love and the ways in which these layers melt into each other. During the play, you will encounter the famous fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Andersen, the artist couple Anna and Fritz Syberg, and Riborg Voigt, the love interest of Andersen. The walk is 7 km and starts at Øhavsmuseet at Faaborg Harbour.

The Silence Of The Sound

‘The Silence of the Sound’ is a dramatized audio story involving six writers with ties to South Fyn; three early 20th century writers and three contemporary writers: Bertolt Brecht, Karin Michaëlis, Tom Kristensen, Josefine Ottesen, Mikael Josephsen and Jesper Wung-Sung. Acclaimed Danish actor Lars Mikkelsen will be guiding you through the story. In total, the walk is 6 km, starting from the harbour in Svendborg and ending at Brecht’s House in Skovsbostrand.
