Økohelter – STICKY Productions (NO/SE/UK/IR)

Pop! Squeak! Squeal! It crawls, it creeps, it wriggles. ‘Sopp, sopp, sopp’! The forest comes to life. 

Who are the little creatures that live on and under the forest floor? In a balance between fantasy and fact, Økohelter shows us a micro-world full of tiny superheroes, and we get to experience how alive, poetic and moving the forest can be. This is a performance for the curious and playful!

In a poetic, beautiful and engaging way, the dance quartet STICKY takes us inside the intimate, wonderful little universe of the forest. Økohelter is a multi-sensory performance where the forest’s tiny superheroes are equated with all life. Big climate issues can seem heavy and intangible, but in this performance, we are reminded in a touching way of how concrete it can be, and that we are inextricably linked. The small, busy life at the bottom of the forest is just as concrete and important as our busy everyday lives. Come join this remarkable little community!

STICKY (Edginton/Lothe/Olsen/Parsons) is an international collective of queer, female dance artists based in Oslo and London. Their practice delves into the bodily and the sensitive, the playful and the peculiar. The four artists met studying contemporary dance at Laban in London and share a drive to create environmentally conscious work. Økohelter is their first work as STICKY, where they all work as dancers and choreographers.

Suitable for children from 4 years, and their families. A multi-sensory and accessible performance with a focus on being able to engage in the performance in various ways.
