Cattle in an Arctic paradise
Lapland—that marvelous wilderness for travelers, where authenticity and tradition meet red elves and Christmas lights, mysticism and reindeer antler powder. Cattle in the Arctic Paradise is a gritty portrayal of people for whom authentic traditions and artificial attractions blend joyfully in the land of eternal Christmas. Is there still something untouched beneath the surface, if you dig deep enough?
Powerful dance, a grandiose soundscape, and the rich and boundless use of Lappish imagery offer the audience an experience that stirs the soul to its core. The performance is sure to leave viewers pondering Lapland. The performance is not recommended for children under 12.
