VÁSTÁDUS EANA - The answer is land - Elle Sofe Company

The jury’s motivation

Joke and dance come together in this all-round work of art, which is also a female manifestation of the nature we are entrusted to manage. 'Vástádus eana' begins outdoors as an external journey about nature and our place on earth. Once indoors, the performance turns into an inner journey about the soul's place in existence. The strength of the performance lies in its music, in its movements, glances and timing that create intensity and presence on stage. The performance creates community and shows the strength that comes from acting together.

Community and kinship between people, with nature and with the earth we all share, are the main themes of Vástádus eana/ The answer is land. The choreography is inspired by demonstrations, Sami spiritual practices and formation dance.

Written specially for the performance by composer and professor of yoik, Frode Fjellheim, the polyphonic yoik works as a supportive pillar throughout the work. Fjellheim showcases the breadth, of yoik and a new way of working with polyphonic yoik.
