Soul'O

Inspired by the high priestess Enheduanna who wrote poems on stone tablets 4,300 years ago, Soul’O explores power, desires and our innate ability to rise with with new strength - again and again. 

Starting from a handful of heartfelt, self-composed songs, live music, some selected movements and with the help of 300 million year old coal-stones from Svalbard, Liv Hanne creates a deeply insisting solo. Her eagerness to listen to her body's signals is radical and guides her work. But how much of oneself can one tolerate? How unique can one, and do one really want to be?
