Dance Theatre: I denna ljuva

Wednesday, August 25th at 19 & Thursday, August 26 at 13
Marika Hedemyr looks herself up as an eleven-year-old in an international peace camp. There she danced Swedish folk dances in beautiful costumes, representing Sweden. This dance theatre is about belonging and identification with Sweden and the Swedish which in the rearview mirror becomes uncomfortable. The contact between then and now creates friction. The love of folk dance suddenly becomes problematic. By and with Marika Hedemyr. Music: Paul Bothén. Admission: 100kr.
