Arctic Women

Arctic Women is a new work that María and the Norwegian actor Juni Dahr are developing, about the human encounter with nature.

Its first version is based on the diaries of women who have spent shorter or longer periods on Svalbard, and other stories of women in the Arctic will become part of the piece in later versions.

The premiere will take place in an old coal-railway station on stilts in Longyearbyen in the autumn of 2019.

María and Juni, together with the Finnish experimental dancer Reijo Kela and Snorri Freyr Hilmarsson, first worked on the piece at Kolstaðir, after which the first three travelled to Svalbard to do research.
