EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the lively and spirited performance of Miss Kristin Gudmundsdottir and Miss Svava Jons as they tap-danced their way into the hearts of the troops stationed in Reykjavik, Iceland during World War II. The image was taken at the Fish Shed Theatre, the only English-speaking theatre in Iceland at the time, which provided a much-needed source of entertainment and connection for the soldiers. The year was 1942, and the 40s were in full swing. Despite the challenging circumstances of the war, these two talented Icelandic dancers brought joy and excitement to the audience with their energetic tap dance routine. Their elegant costumes, bright smiles, and focused expressions convey a sense of determination and resilience, reflecting the spirit of the times. The Fish Shed Theatre, located in Reykjavik, was a vital cultural hub during this period. It provided a platform for local artists and performers to showcase their talents and connect with the international community. Miss Kristin Gudmundsdottir and Miss Svava Jons were among the many artists who graced the stage, bringing a touch of glamour and escapism to the soldiers' lives. This photograph is a testament to the power of art and performance to uplift and inspire, even in the most challenging of circumstances. The image captures a moment of pure joy and connection, as the dancers and the soldiers share a collective experience of entertainment and appreciation for the arts.
