"I got to see an old shoelace that my grandmother's mother had laid. As I held it, I realized there was something I wasn't supposed to know about - a legacy that someone wanted to hide. The shoelace turned into a witness and bearer of a story. And then I started thinking about what other stories are out there."

Mojhtesh gurredh roughly means weaving stories in Southern Sami and is a dance and music performance for the whole family. With dance, Sami drum, joik, accordion and song, we offer different stories and memories from lands and people around Sápmi. After the performance, there is an opportunity for coffee and conversation and to weave your own stories into a large web.

The performance is partially interactive as the audience is invited to sing along with us in certain songs. Mojhtesh gurredh is preferably played to a multi-generational audience outdoors at a location where a fire is possible, preferably surrounded by trees. We gather with the audience some distance away and enter the venue together.
