The evil mother/murderer with Nazila Kivi incl. screening of Lars Von Trier’s ’Medea’

Few characters throughout history have been through as much as mothers. Especially in fairytales, but also in film and literature, which are build on our common classical myths, the mother always is depicted as a problematic figure. It is even said, that the witch and the evil stepmother in reality are mothers in disguises.

In this presentation before the screening of Lars Von Trier’s Medea from 1988, critic and author Nazila Kivi will make a short historic overview of topics about the mother, the murderer and the woman as the not-quite-human “Other”.

The event will be in Danish and is organized in collaboration with Golden Days.
