The work Langbrók is inspired by the most talked female person in Njals Saga, called Hallgerdur Langbrok. Brought in the world of men she was flirtatious, extremely proud, with long hair and mischievous eyes. She got married three times and none of them could fulfil her high expectations about love. All of them gave her a slap in the face and because of that she let all of them get killed. In her mind these slaps were unforgivable. Three husbands, three hands in one face, three times a widow, she lived her later years alone at Laugarnes in Reykjavik, watching the same sunset at nights, as we do today in Reykjavik.

Originally Langbrók was made for the KIT dance-festival in Copenhagen 1999.
