Description | Jotteeh (trans. Wanderers) is inspired by the annual migration pattern of Sámi, the indigenous Finno-Ugric people. Their livelihood have been bound to reindeer herding for centuries. Instead of only moving from place to place the migration is seen in the choreography as a kind of social rite that binds people into a tight group in which everyone has their own role. |
Other Information | Northern Lights Theatre is an open air snow theatre. |
