The Apology – Sii bivde ándagassii is Giron Sámi Teáhter’s stage production created in response to the high mass at which the then Archbishop Antje Jackelén apologized for the Church of Sweden’s involvement in the colonization of the Sámi people.

On Good Friday we offer a moment of stillness through a poetic and musical journey along the fourteen Stations of the Cross, the Via Dolorosa. The poetic texts of Paul Claudel come to life through Stina Ekblad’s interpretation, and Marcel Dupré’s organ music moves between tender tranquility and powerful drama.
