Language Circus. Getting into a language on the same conditions as a child – communcating with the body.
With circus as a theme and with the help of myths, movements and music, we get closer to our Sami languages. Being a beginner is a little easier if the language is a gmae with room for mistakes and nonsense. How does the reindeer herder conjugate verbs? What does the juggler do when he says something wrong?
Here, the audience is invited into the world of the language circus with play, juggling and acrobatics.
