"Vástádus eana - The answer is land" by choreographer Elle Sofe Sara aims to make the audience aware of their own presence, aware of the place in which they stand and the others who are there. Together the performers and the audience create a space for the complex and conflicting emotions that are aroused by our belonging to nature and the destruction of our ecosystem.

"It is not possible to talk about nature without talking about climate. When I look at our connection to nature in this performance, I have to also address the broken relationship. The theme of nature and climate brings with it emotions such as shame, sorrow, and a feeling of being the victim. This performance is a search to find my way back to belonging to nature, myself, the people I interact with and not least my own voice." Elle Sofe Sara, artistic director and choreographer.
