Step into the world of the Norse gods, giants, monsters, and poets through a living tradition of oral storytelling.

This storytelling programme is flexible. The complete journey lasts approximately three hours, but individual performances can be adapted to the time available.

Whether you have 45 minutes or a full evening, the stories are woven into a complete narrative.

The beginning and the end remain the same: The world is created, Odin gives his son an impossible task, and Baldr's dream sets the events of Ragnarök in motion. Everything in between is chosen to suit your audience and your schedule.

Ideal for folk high schools, Steiner/Waldorf schools, and educational settings, the programme explores Norse mythology through literature, storytelling, history, identity, poetry, philosophy, and Nordic cultural heritage.
