Svorskuomi - Dance Performance About the Nordic Identity
What separates and unites our three countries? Three dancers, each with their own nationality, dives into cliche's, prejudices and misunderstandings. Through dance and speech, they study their identity. What happens when the Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian meet in the sauna? Steam and snap songs are fresh and dancers sweat a lot. Also, traditional competitions are not avoided, such as knee hook or handwriting. The word of the Svors is formed when a person freely mixes when speaking Swedish, Norway and Finnish. Svorskuomi = Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish. Performed at Stoa Stage (Helsinki), Verkstedhallen (Trondheim), and Balettakademien (Stockholm).
