Granddaughters – Bøler Samvirkelag (NO) + Eliisa Erävalo (FI) og Halla Ólafsdóttir (IS)

Let bitchcrafting lead you into temptation!

Age restriction from 12 years

Granddaughters is all the women we have been born from and their mothers, the ones we carry with us in our bodies, the ones who taught us to dance, who paved the way, who were burned or overlooked, the ones we fear, look up to, the ones that wish that we were. Granddaughters is sisterhood, care and fearless togetherness. It is to be a channel for something other than oneself, to receive advice from animals, and to lean into the strength of the weeping wives.

In the project, we at Bøler Samvirkelag have worked with the choreographers Halla Ólafsdóttir and Eliisa Erävalo’s practice “bitchcrafting”, and let it lead us into temptation.

Bøler Samvirkelag came into  existence  through the sharing and running of a studio at Bøler Hovedgård in Oslo and consists of the dance artists Ingeleiv Berstad, Ida Gudbrandsen, Kristin Ryg Helgebostad, Pernille Holden, Marianne Kjærsund, Sigrid Kopperdal and Venke Marie Sortland. As part of Oslo’s free performing arts field, the group’s members have worked together and separately in many different constellations and projects over the past 10-13 years, both as creative and performing dance artists.

Bøler Samvirkelag + is the name of a series of projects initiated by Bøler Samvirkelag, where we engage different choreographers to create works with us as performers, so that we can pursue the dream of being dancers in a company.

Tickets 25.03, 20:00

The performance is part of Multiplié Dance Festival 2023
