The universe bends under the weight of Ragnarök: three long winters shroud the world in ice, followed by three devastating battles that consume it to ashes. From the ruins of what once was, Líf and Lífthrasir awaken from their shelter among the roots of Yggdrasill, the cosmic tree that has safeguarded the spark of life beyond destruction. Their journey, marked by fear and uncertainty, leads them toward a future yet to be rebuilt. The two protagonists become symbols of continuity and hope. In the heart of a fragmented universe, they show that even when all seems lost, life can always take a new form. Líf celebrates the strength of life and its ability to overcome adversity, reminding us that after every end, there is always space for a new beginning, to be rebuilt step by step. The project, finalist for the Premio Twain_direzioniAltre, was born from the collaboration between ocram dance movement and the dancers of Compagnia Zappalà Danza 2: a choreographic dialogue that weaves together diverse experiences, sensitivities, and physical languages.

Ocram dance movement

Ocram dance movement was founded in 2013 by Marco Laudani and Claudio Scalia. The idea of creating an ensemble of dancers as a means of indepth exploration and research has developed over the years, resulting in the creation of 20 productions hosted in internationally renowned festivals and supported, among others, by the Italian Institutes of Culture abroad. Over its first ten years of activity, ocram has performed in Italy, Germany, USA, Argentina, Hungary, Spain, Portugal, Slovenia, Turkey, Greece, Mexico, Bulgaria, Poland, and France. Since 2022, the company has been associated with Scenario Pubblico CZD Centro di Rilevante Interesse per la Danza.
