[Íd] Iceland Dance Company

Let Hel Hold What She Has

…when brothers and sisters will rot from an extinct day, swallowed by incandescent waves; from this howling ride will gush out the white hair of a new sun, of a new dawn. A new piece inspired by nordic mythology, choreographed by the French choreographer Jérôme Delbey.

Premiered October 5th 2012

One of two pieces in the company's October performance

The poetry, complexity and richness of the Eddas has often in history been shadowed by the Greek-Roman mythology. Let hel hold what she has tends to reexplore the creation and destruction of the world according to the ancient nordic faiths.
