Would you like to help shed light on menopause? We are looking for women aged 45–65 to take part in the performance When the Bleeding Stops.

When the Bleeding Stops breaks the silence and the taboo surrounding menopause, exploring what it means to age as a woman.

Would you like to be part of this?

We are looking for Faroese women between the ages of 45 and 65 who are currently experiencing menopause and who are open to sharing their personal stories and experiences in an artistic setting — both personally and physically.

What will you be doing?
You will take part in dance — both in front of a camera and on stage.

No dance experience is necessary. It is absolutely fine if this is your first time dancing!
