LEMONADE

«LEMONADE” is a co-production between the string quartet Wooden Elephant and company dancer Oda Østenstad Fjell. The piece is based on Beyoncés concept album from 2016, with poetry written by Warsan Shire. The acoustic music is accompanied by poetry performed by Oda alongside both improvised and set choreographic material, and is a tribute to female energy and a critic of societies conception of women.
