Granddaughters

by and with Bøler Samvirkelag + Eliisa Erävalo and Halla Ólafsdóttir

Granddaughters is all the women we have been born from and their mothers, the ones we carry with us in our bodies, the ones who taught us to dance, who paved the way, who were burned or overlooked, the ones we fear, look up to, the ones that wish that we were. Granddaughters is sisterhood, care and fearless togetherness. It is to be a channel for something other than oneself, to receive advice from animals, and to lean into the strength of the weeping wives.

In the project, we at Bøler Samvirkelag have worked with the choreographers Halla Ólafsdóttir and Eliisa Erävalo's practice "bitchcrafting", and let it lead us into temptation.
