| Description |
Napapiiri – Navel Circle (name in Finnish for The Arctic Circle) is a dance performance with ritual elements about touch, skin and the search and composition of connection. The performance leads the participant on an expedition to the Navel Circle. The purpose of the trip is to get to know the navel experientially. There are two ways in which the audience can join the performance; by witnessing it from the sidelines or participating in the expedition. The leaders of the expedition groups and the performers come from different backgrounds to dance, movement and performance. The common denominators have been a personal relationship with queer identity and an interest in being with the navel through movement, touch and collaboration. |
