Curated by Alexander Roberts and Ásgerður G. Gunnarsdóttir, in collaboration with Bjarni Jónsson and Ragnheiður Skúladóttir, Reykjavík Dance Festival partnered with LÓKAL International Theatre Festival to bring together a programme of artists from Iceland and abroad that each in their own terms are challenging and stretching the dominant modes of the performing arts.
