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.
