Performed the 7th-8th of Mars at Elefantteateret, Stavanger, Norway.

Nathalie Wiberg joined Čázevulošnieida as a dancer during a residency at Elefantteateret in 2024, an artistic team has further developed the project which was created in 2021 and has since then been shown at several festivals and cultural centers.

Čázevulošnieida, directly translated to The underwater girl, is an interdisciplinary work of art. The work is both an art installation and a dance art performance based on the Sea Sámi story ‘Undervannsjenta’ and about the world that is both next to, above and below the sea.

The work wants to say something about the fact that there are people and cultures that live close to the stories of worlds we do not know so well today, and that they may teach us valuable knowledge of different kinds.

Subtle sea sounds, joik, dance and juggling, textiles, living drawings, and architecture move together in Čázevulošnieida, and can potentially move the sea and the human soul.
