The Yellow Room: Elmie

Swedish: Elmie can mean both sky and storm. The dance film Elmie is a piece created based on the poem and painting Elmie (see Gäetie 3) that Madeleine has created for the exhibition. 

"I have used different words and sentences from the poem to create movement patterns while also using feelings that I get from the painting. 

In the creation of the music, Jon-Henrik has received various directives. For this film, I have asked him to listen to how Sami patterns sound and find inspiration in Sami crafts." – Marika

The blue room: Jieleden tjïrrh

Swedish: Jieleden tjïrrh means through life and reflects the journey we make together with our ancestors and future generations. 

"I have created this film based on various poems and paintings that Madeleine created in the process. I used her movement patterns when creating art and listening to texts and narration. For me, this film is hope. Hope that our ancestors follow us through life to make the best choices we can in faith that our descendants will do the same.” – Marika

The directives Jon-henrik received for this film: What have you received from your heritage, your genes, the environment you grew up in? Free to create music and joik based on the theme of heritage, environment, natural forces and traditions
