Old Stories, New Voices Performance
After a summer in Holstebro, young artists from Greenland, Denmark and Sweden come to Helsingborg with their take on the Norse myths, presented as a short performance.
The performance follows an open method: myths told as moving, walk-through art, where glimpses of the original work appear as you move through the room. Perhaps Thor, a little tired of controlling the weather. Loki switching sides again. Freja arriving with her relationship drama intact. Odin overanalysing everything he collects. The myths are handled with humour and recognisable everyday situations rather than reverence, which is the whole point of placing them in the hands of those who tell them.
Alongside the performance, the group also presents the project itself: how fifteen young people from three countries built performing arts from scratch, in their own voices, across art forms and languages.
