Wild Niss: The Seasons
The dance group Villniss has created its own universe in the performance "The Seasons". The red shawls dance by themselves, the snow floats around in a springlike rhythm and the north wind blows from all sides. In the middle of this stand 8 curious musicians and dancers. In different natural elements they meet each other and themselves. In a playful, expressive and atmospheric performance, Villniss explores the relationship to nature and the change in the different seasons.
Villniss Dansekompani is one of the new players in scenic folk music and folk dance productions in Norway. Villniss was created as a result of a shared desire to explore the narrative in dance and music, and to challenge the coexistence of live music and dance on a stage.
