Sjaddo \u2013 Liv Aira<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

“Sjaddo” means “seed” in Lule S\u00e1mi and is about growth and development. The movement pattern is about listening to one\u2019s instincts and intuition. The performance begins with a creation story from S\u00e1mi mythology in which the heart of a reindeer is placed in the ground, creating a rhythm that also becomes the rhythm of the earth. We witness the construction of a S\u00e1mi k\u00e5ta, which also symbolizes the building of a community and the need to work together. The music is an electronic soundscape featuring local joik singers from the Jokkmokk area\u2014where Liv Aira herself is from. The performance *Sjaddo* aims to spark the audience\u2019s curiosity about S\u00e1mi culture and strengthen the identity of minority groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
