Christian Steffensen invites you to join this dramatised tour through the charming streets of Ribe, where he, in the form of Ambrosius Stub, will guide the participants through the old town centre. The poet of the 1700s, Ambrosius Stub came to Ribe in 1752, where he lived until his death in 1758 where he was buried on the cemetery of the Sct. Catharinæ Church.
Stub is without compare the greatest lyricist and poet of the time of Holberg. He e. g. wrote juicy drinking songs, love poems, spiritual songs, nature lyrics, occasional poetry, bonmotes with titles like: I make thin Caffé - The bleak winter went his way – Thou beautiful rosebud – What is won by the wide sea of the world – Innocent pastimes – Is anyone, I am joyous.
During the tour through old beautiful Ribe, Christian Steffensen will entertain with lyrics and songs by Ambrosius Stub. History comes alive, when we visit old quarters and houses in town, which existed when Stub was alive.
