In times of turmoil, when many feel fear and helplessness, the encounter with nature and fellowship with other people can give us perspective, strength and inspiration to look forward. It is against this backdrop that the performance Förnimmelser has grown and taken shape.
Through poetry, music and song, we want to raise both our own and some of the multifaceted issues and emotions of our time in order to make them visible. In the performance, the words are intertwined with the music into a whole that carries a desire to lift hope and strengthen resilience so that together we can imagine and shape a brighter future.
Marianne Folkedotter is a storyteller, poet and songwriter who, in a series of acclaimed and appreciated performances, has shown her ability to enlighten, enthuse and amaze a large audience in and outside Västerbotten with her words.
