The strong women and the weak men in Matador

What to know

This evening, John V. Jensen brings us into the company of Katrine, Maude, Hans Christian, Agnes, Ingeborg and Mads and examines whether the story of Matador's strong women and weak men holds water. "My late wife never served meatloaf, she knew my feelings for boiled meatloaf". You can imagine the scene between head teacher Andersen and Violet Vinter in Matador, which has become a national treasure. Series author Lise Nørgaard has sometimes been criticized for her portrayal of the men as incompetent, immature, and unable to pull themselves together. While the Matador women can handle themselves and show willpower and courage when it matters. There will also be an opportunity to look at the interwar period and the years of occupation and the series' unique portrayal of a piece of Danish history - a story that no professional historian can compete with. But how is the time portrayed in relation to thelatest research on the occupation period in particular? - Date: 8 October 2026 - Time: 19:00–21:00 - Venue: Aktivitetshuset Ebeltoft - Address: Nørrealle 4, Ebeltoft, Denmark
