Kari Tauring: Deep Winter Journey (1-22)
Bryant-Lake Bowl Cabaret Theater (Minneapolis, MN United States)
Minneapolis, MN
Share this event:


Kari Tauring is well known for embracing Minnesota winters, the darkness and cold seem to make her come alive. Her Winter Solstice performances have been a bright spot in a potentially bleak season. But this year, she is waiting until after the inauguration of a controversial president to shine what light she can on what seems like very dark times indeed. Kari is not afraid of the dark.

There is pain in the culture, a crisis of identity that is making people afraid. Confusing "whiteness" for culture is at its core. Kari grapples with this concept head on.  

From the Standing Rock Solidarity Network http://www.standingrocksolidaritynetwork.org/  

"Own your history. European settlers came bearing the traumas of violence, lost connection with the land, and severe repression of their spiritual traditions. Becoming settlers deepened that loss...Its important to face our own historical losses, and draw on our own roots...Learn about your own ancestral traditions, and develop a spiritual practice rooted in them."

This has been Kari Tauring's life work. Quintessentially Nordic, ancient rune alphabet symbols are the foundation of movement prayers for water, relationship and community responsibility. Her vocals layer and loop magically around the blast of cow horn and stick rhythm. Ancient poems and original spoken word combine to create a new thread of meaning and connection to her Northern European ancestors. She is a ritual artist whose work transforms everyone who experiences it.

This past Summer Solstice, Kari lay beneath the mountain crevasse named for her great great grandmother in Norway and received a tune, a song that came up from the mountain itself. She shares her experiences openly and with a range of emotion that brings the audience into the intimacy of the moment.

In an effort to understand the scientific and physiological processes of identity and rootedness, Kari will re-introduce her beloved character, "Professor Corpus Callosum." Come along on this Deep Winter Journey and find your own roots calling you through stories, humor, song, dance, language, and love.

Press Quotes:

"Tauring's hypnotic storytelling and singing make for a charming and instructive trip to the northlands." Stephen Winick, Huffington Post

"Kari has been able to weave these seemingly disparate strains of her immigrant and Pagan heritage together...Karis ability to combine ideas that are considered to be as categorically distinct as oil and water, is what makes her work so compelling and unique." Anna Rue, University of Wisconsin-Madison
