GANDR epic tour September 2023

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.
