In REIÐ, nine dramatic, elegant, and complex creatures take the stage — fair-featured, fleshy, fuzzy, and shiny. They are wild, with sinuous limbs and long necks; considerate, caring, and erotic. Healthy, fertile, and fun-loving goddesses.

In this work, the choreographers explore how the woman and the mare mirror one another — in strength, sensuality, and instinct.
