Sámi Storytelling and joiking

Bådtselit

Performance
Joik + Contemporary dance
1,5 hours

In this unique experience Jasmine Skog and Juhán Niila Stålka shares stories from Jokkmokk through movement and sound. They mix traditional sámi joik and contemporary dance in a performance in the beautiful Alpine Garden in Jokkmokk. You also get the opportunity to ask questions about sámi culture try some dried reindeer meat.

I grew up in the south and learnt to joik from my father on our roadtrips north. I spent every holiday with my Áhkko and Áddjá (grandparents) in their cabin up towards Stuor Muorkke (Stora Sjöfallet).

As a joiker i have got the opportunity to perform at stages such as: Kungliga Dramatiska Teater, Skansen, Kungliga musikhögskolan, Kungsträdgården, Márkomeannu, Riddu Riđđu, Ájtte, The Sámi Parliament and Norrlandsoperan.

I have experience as a guide at Ájtte Museum aswell as a host at Sámi Duodji Sameslöjdstiftelsen.

What does other guests say?

  • “Sometimes there can be a very little gap between sharing a tradition and pulling a show for tourists. Juhán came as our guest and I think he left like he was almost our friend. Thank you for your generosity, authenticity and courage.”

    -Sara, Switzerland Living Wild 2020

  • “Even though I visited some museums about Sami culture and history. It is only through your picturefull and lively explanations and yoiking that your culture came to life. In a way a museum or book will never be able to. Thanks for sharing this insight into your life and culture.”

    -Lars, Austria Living Wild 2020

  • “Juháns Niila’s joik brings the north alive with both the vibrancy of the past and the urgency of the present.”
