Við erum veðrið

WE ARE THE WEATHER

We Are the Weather is a new creation by choreographer Bára Sigfúsdóttir for Iceland Dance Company.

The work explores the invisible forces that bind us, between bodies, between minds, and between inner and outer consciousness. Building on Bára’s ongoing exploration of the relationship between humans and nature, the piece turns inward, examining how human connection shapes our mental landscapes.

On stage, a group of dancers and a full-scale choir move through shifting states of closeness, distance, and collective rhythm, weathering the space together. Voices and bodies intertwine, continually reshaping one another. Like weather moving across a landscape, each encounter leaves a trace. Together, they become each other’s shelter, nourishment, and terrain. The set transforms and erodes over the course of the performance, reflecting the fragile and dynamic nature of connection.

We Are the Weather invites reflection on how we affect one another and how, together, we become the climate we inhabit.

Premiere: Spring 2027.
