We, the drowned - Audio walk in Marstal

Carsten Jensen's great novel about the sailors of Marstal and their bereaved families comes to life in Marstal's narrow alleys, along the harbour and the beach.

Embark on an exciting journey through Marstal with the audio walk We, the drowned. Experience a tale of absent fathers and widows left behind, of war and the threatening forces of the sea that can still wash over the town's kilometre-long pier.

Since Carsten Jensen's novel was published in 2006, readers from all over the world have visited Marstal to see the places described in the book. Now you can experience a dramatised audiowalk produced by BaggårdTeatret, where Denmark's best actors and Carsten Jensen himself take you by the hand and guide you through the town.

The tour starts at the ferry landing and takes you through the old streets, the cemetery, the harbour and the beach with both historical stories and dramatic moments.

Download the app BaggårdTeatret and take the tour, which lasts around 2 hours and can be enjoyed even if you haven't read the novel.
