A FAIRY TALE FROM NORWAY WITH MUSIC & PICTURES
Beautiful
Astri finds and loses a mysterious prince. The search for her
lover takes her to the castle east of the sun and west of the moon ...
Between the Scandinavian mainland and the
Arctic Circle sprawl the waters and islands of the Arctic Ocean, one of
the last great wildernesses in Europe. This region: the north of
Norway, Iceland, the Shetland Islands, the Hebrides and the Orkneys -
they are legendary Viking land.
In our program we tell a poetic tale from this
distant world and from a time when Christianity began to replace the
pagan cultures of the north. This even reflects in the
music: still archaic folk songs meet latin hymns and psalms. We
play and sing this music, which can partly be traced back to the
Vikings: epic bard songs, mediaeval hymns, prayers and ancient
Icelandic folk songs.
And we add a special feature: telling
and music are combined with a multimedia show by photographer
Heike Goertz-Liedtke, presenting pictures from the Viking's zones.
