BLOOD TRACE // VARRALUOTTAT

Blodspor// Varraluottat is a special edition of our popular Blodklubb , where the audience gets to participate in surprising ways.

In Blodspor// Varraluottat you will encounter the story of Sami emigration to the USA and Norwegian and Finnish emigration to Sápmi.

Did you know that many Sami were among the many who went to America during the great emigration between 1825 and 1930, but they were not registered as a separate group in the migration documents? Today it is estimated that there are between 30,000-70,000 "sámericans"

After going through an immigration procedure, the audience is granted entry into one of three rooms: America, Sápmi and Ruija (The Sea Country).

Blood Trails// Varraluottat develops into a full evening of stories, facts, music, competition and personal dilemmas related to colonization, immigration and emigration to and from Sápmi. All spiced with the distinctive Blood Club humor!

Guest artists are Iŋgor Niila and Nils Peder Andersen Gaup , reindeer herding Sami and traditional joikers from Kautokeino and Charlotte Bendiks , DJ.

About Fresh Scenes and Blood Club
Ferske Scener's performance series Blodklubb is the club for everyone who has blood. Founders Sigbjørn Skåden, Bernt Bjørn, Kristina Junttila and Kristin Bjørn established the club in 2018. Blodklubb is a series of performances where each performance has its own dramaturgy and agenda. With humor and surprising angles, the relationship between culture and genetics is examined, with the Sami as the focal point.

Blodspor// Varraluottat was originally created for the National Library in Oslo in November 2025, and has also visited Barentspektakel in February.
