UNFINISHED TALES
What is it like to be young in the wake of colonialism?
Nordic colonialism is an unfinished story. A composite story with many voices. In the installation Unfinished Tales, the audience meet a raw and poetic atmospheric archive of the emotional legacy and collective memories of Nordic colonialism. The installation is based on the research project from 2019-2021, where nine choreographers and young participants from Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Ghana, St. Croix, Norway, Sweden/Sápmi, Finland/Sápmi and Denmark investigated what form colonialism takes in the everyday lives of young people. The young people’s stories are staged by artists from the Nordics, Ghana and St. Croix, and the audience is guided through the installation, where film, movements, text, sound, and objects are unfolded and brought to life in collaboration between the audience and performers. The performance is created by NextDoor Project.
