The production has been created with and for seven female performers, each with different backgrounds and life experiences, each of whom brings their own story, body and voice to the work.
Elle Sofe is interested in the intention behind the movement, gaze, timing, direction, intensity and presence on the stage. The choreography was inspired by demonstrations, Sami spiritual practices and formation dance. The polyphonic joik is the supporting pillar of the production. It has been specially written for this production by Frode Fjellheim, composer and professor of joik. Fjellheim showcases the breadth of joik, and expands the definition of what traditional Sami music can be.
Kraftfullt på et stillferdig og storslagent vis.
