MILKYWHALE af Melkorka Sigríður Magnúsdóttir (IS)
ICEHOT

For English please see below.

Melkorka er klædt i hvidt tøj. Hendes bløde vokal høres sammen med elektronisk musik og midt i det hele, begynder hun at danse. Dansen fungerer som det primære kunstudtryk. Melkorka er danser og koreograf. Hun har allieret sig med musikeren Árni Rúnar Hlöðversson, og de kalder sig Milkywhale. Bandets live show nedbryder grænserne mellem en koncert og en performance.

Milkywhale er en visuel rejse gennem lyd, koreografi og en serie af pop sange. Denne episke koncert handler om trivielle ting som kærlighed, trampolin øvelser, hvaler og hvide dyr.

Milkywhale præsenteres som en showcase i forbindelse med den nordiske danseplatform ICEHOT.

MILKYWHALE by Melkorka Sigríður Magnúsdóttir (IS)

She is all dressed in white clothes. Her soft vocals are set to electronic pop music. And then in the middle of it all she starts dancing. Not as a supplementary thing but as the primary art form.
She is a dancer and a choreographer and her name is Melkorka Sigríður Magnúsdóttir.
She has teamed up with musician Árni Rúnar Hlöðversson under the name Milkywhale.
The band’s live show dismantles the boundaries between a concert and a performance.
Through a series of pop songs, Milkywhale is a visual trip through soundscape and choreography.
This epic concert features trivial things like love, trampoline exercises, whales and white animals.
