Overview Purgatorium

Purgatorium is an essay on inspiration and unconventional beauty, movement and stillness, fantasy and reality. By studying dance as a motif and metaphor – in film, artworks, and literature – Hedda Robertsen suggests that writing, too, is an exercise in stretching, soaring, and flowing: It's about letting words drip like tears or drops of sweat, about the elasticity of thought, the ecstasy of writing, and the drama of the nymph.
