The project invloves a group of european volunteers who come on an exchange programme for a month and work towards a performance at the end. The volunteers come from many countries and bring with them specialized skills.
We train in acrobatics, fire performance, juggling, singing, European dances, stick and swords, mask work and character acting. The training takes place outdoors in the forrest, various locations surrounding the theatre.
The whole group work together as a team in all areas, from working in the kitchen to building scenery and costumes for the performance. We share songs, dances and skills from the home countries and we put these experiences into our characters and performance.
The project ended with two performances on the viking burial sites which invited the audience to travel with us in bring the dead to life once again.
