Geir Hytten

Ribadit (pulling in the belt) was a tradition in the Sápmi village of Guovdageaidnu. This film introduces us to two elders who experienced this. Director Elle Sofe gives this old tradition new life in an unexpected way, along with Sápmi youths and dancers.

"Drawing from Goethe's classic text, Punchdrunk transformed the legend of Faust into a sensory, choreographed drama...this DVD has been produced to reference some of the magic of the live performance, the fragments of which exist only in the memories of those who saw, and helped make into, 'the hottest ticket in town.'"
