Dance Happening Inspired by Kjarval

Eternal Echoes: Homage to Kjarval

Iceland Dance Company presents the happening Hidden Moments in Nature: A Sacrifice Event  directed by Erna Ómarsdóttir and Valdimar Jóhannsson. The happening is inspired by the life and work of visual artist Kjarval.

The happening is a part of a series of events in the Reykjavik Art Museum called Eternal Echo: Homage to Kjarval, as well as being a part of the international performance festival Every Body´s Spectacular – in Reykjavík from August 24-28.

Together with Ómarsdóttir and Jóhannsson, Iceland Dance Company is collaborating with the artists Matthew Barney, Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, Ragnar Kjartansson and Margrét Bjarnadóttir on a significant work, Sacrifice, to be premiered next year in context with LÓKAL dance festival and the Reykjavik City Theatre. The current performance is one of several events written and performed by the artists, together or individually, in preparation for the larger work.

Everybody's Spectacular performance festival is co-produced by RDF (www.reykjavikdancefestival.is) and LÓKAL (www.lokal.is).
