PREMIERE TONIGHT NOV 15 FOR OUR MINNA TÄGIL AS THE MOON DAUGHTER IN (EATNAMA VÁIBMU) JORDENS HJÄRTA AT ROYAL SWEDISH OPERA.
A tale about the beginning of everything by Britta Byström. The Royal Swedish Opera is the first theatre in Sweden to present a work written and performed in Northern Sámi. Eatnama váibmu (The Heart of the Earth), is based on the Sámi creation myth, which features a highly topical theme, the struggle between good and evil and living in harmony with nature. The audience will encounter a new, visual interpretation of the Sámi tradition and enjoy singing ghosts, a large children’s choir and yoik.
Composer Britta Byström, libretto Rawdna Carita Eira, director Elle Márjá Eira, scenograph Markus Granqvist, costume design Lena Lindgren and choreograph Joakim Stephenson
