NO WOMAN'S LAND
Choreography: Naulaq LeDrew and Avatâra Ayuso
Two women, two generations, two cultures, two lands – an encounter between Spanish-born, UK-based choreographer Avatâra Ayuso and the Inuk elder craft artist Naulaq LeDrew, from Nunavut. Together they explore the migration experiences that took them away from their native lands in the Spanish Mediterranean and the Canadian Arctic, digging deep into their cultural traditions, histories, humour, prejudices and fears. Point of departure for this powerful and questioning cross-cultural and cross-generational collaboration, are the very personal experiences and lives of these two very different female artists.
