Tá ið einglar spæla Mozart

Lisbeth Nebelong

When the Danish lawyer, Lisa Bjørn Nielsen, arrives in Torshavn in February 2000 to deliver a presentation at a congress on Faroese self-rule, she unexpectedly confronts her past and a youthful romance she believed she had left behind a long time ago.

As a young woman, Lisa lived in the Faroe Islands for a year. Now, at the age of 44, she is returning, but the trip turns into something else than she imagined. Over the course of three days, she finds herself haunted by longing and shadows from her past, forcing her to reexamine her life.

Tá ið einglar spæla Mozart (When Angels Play Mozart) is the story of a woman’s search for meaning in the modern world – about choices, love, music, and politics. It is also a story about circumstances in the Nordics, exploring the relationship between the Faroe Islands and Denmark, then and now, and the Faroese path towards self-rule.

“This small pocket of opportunity in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, so fragile in its fight for freedom – a process of sovereignty that would seem destined to fail. And yet...

While full autonomy had not yet been achieved, the Faroe Islands had made enormous progress in the forging of a collective consciousness through their fight for autonomy. By telling their own stories about themselves as a resilient and capable people, the Faroese were shaping a new history for themselves in the new millennium, a history in which they are no longer the victims of a superior power.”
