FRIKAR is touring GANDR September 2023!
Mesna river, Lillehammer Sept 5th
Mørkgonga, Ringerike Sept 7th
Borre burial mounds, Horten Sept 10th
Hunn stone circles, Fredrikstad Sept 16th & 17th
The tour is a collaboration with DNT and made possible by a gift from Sparebankstiftelsen DNB.


With rhythms, spiritual nature & shapeshifting dance FRIKAR wishes to blow new life to ancient movement rituals traced 7.000 years back on Norwegian rock carvings. GANDR is norse for both soul and staff. GANDR is a wandering performance where you walk with a staff and meet dancers along the path before we end it with a 50 min dance performance. On this tour we use recorded music. But at Hunn we have live music.
