Her Great Grandfather was a sami storyteller, and this project is based on a few legends he told, that were subsecuently written down by Just Qvigstad during the period 1929-1932. Together with Sami musician Emil Karlsen, and Danish juggler, acrobat and mover Zietra Møller, Camilla aims to make some of these legends come alive in this piece.
