Age recommendation: 12 years

Duration 0 h 45 min

In “When the Bleeding Stops”, Lovísa Ósk Gunnarsdóttir talks about ageing and menopause – topics that are often hidden. With humor and openness, she asks how women over 40 can take back space on stage.

For years, Lovísa Ósk Gunnarsdóttir worked as a dancer of the Iceland Dance Company. “When the Bleeding Stops” is her first piece as a choreographer. It discusses her personal experience of ageing as well as the taboo surrounding the menopause in Western societies. How can we approach the knowledge and the memory that inhabits the body? How can women over 40 recapture the stages from which they have been banished? With curiosity, humour and a growing number of accomplices, Gunnarsdóttir explores the challenges and potentials of this stage of life and invites us to celebrate it.
