It takes a village

The dance and poetry performance "It takes a village...", in Northern Sami “Gaíbiduvvo olles gilli...“, is an investigation into what it means to be indigenous people. Its about connection and resistance, feelings of belonging and identity crises, the big city versus the village. The film is produced by Giron Sámi Teáhter with support from Kulturrådet and Sámediggi.

The creators
Sebastian is a dancer with his Sami roots in Ammarnäs but also among the families who were forced to migrate south from Karesuando in the 1920’s. Through his dance he invokes the voices of his origins while keeping one leg firmly planted in urban dance cultures.
Rönn is a performance poet and spoken word artist, raised and residing in Kiruna. Through poetry Rönn touches on subjects such as colonialism, queerness, rural settings in sparsely populated areas and love.
