SELECTED SOLO WORKS

La Famiglia – I know I put it somewhere

In her solo work La Famiglia – I know I put it somewhere Jonna Lehto dives into the multiple effects, moods and meanings of family and nearness.
How we are linked and tied to each other, how we communicate and express ourselves inside this small but big unit, what is the sense of separation that occurs in oneself as an outsider in the family, how do we see the world through the values absorbed in the family. Or do we break those habits and values?
The performance is a collaboration with artist Ragnheiður Maísól Sturludóttir and costume designer Moa Larsdotter Persson. In her work, Lehto combines contemporary dance, clownery and object theatre.
