A performance for everybody from 8 years and up.
With a background in both Greenland and Denmark, choreographer Sarah Aviaja Hammeken explores the complexity of having roots in two countries. On one hand, it provides a richness of opportunities to feel part of multiple cultures. Yet, one may also experience not quite fitting in anywhere. But what makes one feel part of a community – or not? What cultural references does one carry? And what is it like to not fully understand or master the language, traditions, and rituals of a culture?
In Speech/less, you will encounter two dancers and a musician, and as audience you become part of the performance.
Speech/less has toured extensively in schools and other places in Denmark, Greenland and Faroe Islands.
