Traces of Carvings
(Spår av Ristningar)

- a performance wich gives life to the magic rock carvings of the bronze age!

Are you curious of what kind of human beings lived in your local area 3 000 years ago? What traces have they left for us and why? Welcome to join us on a journey back in time to the world of carvings filled with myths, Gods and magic!

In Traces of Carvings dance and story telling about love, sorrow, birds, snakes and the cycle of life, death and rebirth is mixed. Suggestive music contributes to give life again to the carved signs. Together science, signs, dance, and music create a possibility to experience the Bronze Age and the carvings in a totally new way.
The performances are held outdoors at rock carving sites or ancient monument places. Each performance is unique, since the dance and story telling are linked to the rock, on which the performance takes place.

For adults and children 8 years and more. Length: app 45 min. A summary in english will be available at each performance.
