Abstract:
Holstebro is a Danish town which nourishes ambitions rather like those of an Italian Renaissance city-state, where the rise of bourgeois economics was accompanied by dreams of artistic splendor. The Scandinavian Welfare State seems uneasy; there is a kind of neurotic squeak in the well-oiled machinery of daily life. An ultramodern industrial center, Holstebro—perhaps as unconscious compensation for its wealth—now hopes to become a center for “culture.” The city fathers of this small provincial town have built one of the two largest stages in Denmark, “bought” a young composer of electronic music and commissioned him to create a laboratory of musical research; they subsidize a good amateur orchestra and plan to install a professional one; finally, they have given Eugenio Barba the means of creating a theatre lab on the model of Jerzy Grotowski's at Wrøclaw—Odin Teatret (Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium for Skuespillerkunst).
