Wow, I am still reeling from seeing this event. One of the most profound dance-music-theatre experiences I have ever had.

If Elle Sofa Sara comes to a town near you, you should RUN to see and hear them.

From the Show notes:

“Elle Sofe is the voice of the Sami people, expressing their efforts to battle injustice and to retain and celebrate their culture, mirroring the experience of many of the world's indigenous peoples, including here in Canada.  We join the procession of the seven women in the show, marching in unity as they invite us into an evening of polyphonic Yoiking and powerful movement.”

The clips on Youtube do not do this Sami choreographer and the troop justice. Nonetheless, I will post to get the word out there.

Different (better) costumes inside and out than shown in the clips below. The performance started outside in -15 degree weather, before following them inside to the theatre and it ended with the seven dancers leaving the theatre.

I want to run away and join them!
