14. Rain Dancing for Glaciers: In Conversation with writer Andri Snaer Magnason

from The Glacier's Song · host Néfur

We are in the age of magic -says writer Andri Magnason-, we are doing rain dances in the hope that our words and our music will spread around the planet and influence our behaviour, our laws, our creativity, our consumption… in a way that we will harm the glaciers less or even save them. Writer Andri Snaer Magnason has the power to stir your imagination to infinite corners of thought and thread them together in a train of clear, intelligible ideas.  Composer and singer Néfur has the power to give voice to glaciers, singing the memories of water through her music and providing a deep, embodied, transcendent experience to her audiences.  How old would you be if you were to measure your age in relation to the receding of glaciers? Could a Japanese butoh dancer move at the speed glaciers are melting today? What does the union and rebalance of feminine and masculine have to do with healing the Earth? In what ways have Andri and Néfur experienced Ok, the first Icelandic lost glacier? In this inspiring chat, Andri and Néfur hope that their rain dances will contribute to a better collective care of glaciers and the bodies of water of this planet.  Andri Magnason book On Time and Water: https://andrimagnason.com/books/on-time-and-water/ @andrimagnason Néfur's project The Water, The Lover: nefurmusic.com Purchase The Egg on Bandcamp: nefur.bandcamp.com @nefurmusic
