From the roots through the trunk and up to the treetops, Aeldre takes you on a journey that affirms life and the many colorful seasons. 

The trees outside Harstad Church become the scene for a magical moment in the trees, where in addition to what you see and hear, your imagination can run wild.

Aeldre is a unique experience where contemporary dance, contemporary circus and traditional music meet to pay tribute to one of nature's wonders - the trees.

“Green moss. A gigantic birch at the entrance to the forest. Our secret, our own tree friend. Big thick branches extending out from the moss-covered trunk. The branches grow so that it is possible to climb up if you know the right technique, where to put your foot and where to hold on. My cousin, who is 20 years older, used the same tree as a playground when she was growing up, as did my mother, who is now 70 years old.”
