In a timeless space, the Danish-Norwegian priest Hans Egede meets the Greenlandic shaman Inuk. The performance is a dramatic and insightful encounter between two worldviews and perceptions of humanity and a reminder to us all about history, both its positive and negative aspects. It touches on original sin, sexuality, the right to the mountains and drum dancing, and how the actions of past generations leave their mark on the present.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We meet Christianity from the point of the Inuit. From the narrativ\ne of the Inuit.The Priest and his opposition towards\ndrumsinging and towards inuit belief. The laughter from the inuit when he again and\nagain tries to explain his belief about\nAdam and Eve and the Snake and how humanity is doomed if not forgiven by\nGod.\nAnd we\n-\nthe audience\n-\nunderstand the huge theft that was made by forbidding the Inuits names and traditions..\nhowever all told in a tone of laughter.\nThe show is based on texts from Hans Egedes diaries and the histories of the Inuits\nand accompanied by a visual and auditive\nuniverse. Created through filmic animations, installations, and a soundscape, merging modern rhythms, music and sounds and\nthe traditional sounds of bells and throat singing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

they tell the story from a view point so different from our own ( the Danish view-point), and that is quite a lot..<\/p>\nAnne Liisberg – Iscene<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Tonight\u2019s performance is about remembering tos ee oneself as part of the big wholeness, that is what this performance reminds me to do<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All talks about de-colonization, that come from a place of both enourmoous will, passion, empathy and reflection must be honored, and it is clearly my experience that this room and experience was created by Makka Kleist and Hanne Trap Friis at The National Theater in Copenhagen<\/p>\nKarin Hald – Bastard Blog<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Norwegian actor Svenn B. Syrin played Hans Egede with both nobility and dignity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standing ovation after the performance was particularly directed at Makka Kleist's moving portrait, confirming why she is regarded as one of Greenland's leading actresses.<\/p>\nMichael S\u00f8by – CPH Culture<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
