The wounds of our soul is a visual musical performance about assault, love, power, powerlessness, forgiveness and hope. In an interweaved universe of monologues, dialogues, poetry, dance, songs and projected images we talk about the most difficult, the things that etches the soul and burns life. The performance has been devised in a close collaboration with all involved built on a row of personal stories from Greenlandic citizens who have experienced assaults in one way or another. In poetic and grounded narrations, we meet the child, that has experienced the pain, the grown up that comforts, the joy and the necessity of the community, the politician that scolds and the inner force, that carries us all to new places in life.
"…And when Knight's Cross honored Rasmus Lyberth, and actress Karina Møller sang, it was an explosion of emotions to the music of Hans-Ole Amossen. Klaus Geisler emphasized in his sublime performance why he has a Reumert Award standing at home and young Nukakkuluk Kreutzmann—I honestly don't know how to describe her. I can't recall ever seeing such a strong acting performance in such a young woman."
