"Fragments - Excerpts from Swans in stone" is a visually beautiful and energetic choreography. The piece is inspired by petroglyphs from Alta and the motif "Two Swans in stone" which is from petroglyphs outside Belamorsk. The choreography is a leap of thought from ancient times to a more modern time visualised through two stage images with facts and imagination. In a universe of movements and colours, joik and choir, a fantasy world is created.

The performance is free, but any donations to DanseFestival Barents via VIPPS will be much appreciated Vipps # 117954 or search for DanseFestival Barents in the app, or via PayPal.

Choreography Solveig Leinan-Hermo Dancers Ekaterina Nikitina, Eivind Linn and Tonje Aas Molnes Music/joik Halvdan Nedrejord
