Ragnarok
Ragnarok takes its inspiration from Norse mythology's cyclical tale of the same name. It is a story about fate and determination, mortals and gods, the world's end and its rebirth.
About Ragnarok
A golden age is ending
There have been three years of winter.
The sun hangs low in the sky, unmoving, and the bonds of kinship are failing.
A young girl and her brother battle forward, seeking a future in a promised land. Two souls in a sea of thousands, they move through a fractured world as dream and reality clash around them.
A collision of ancient myth and modern spectacle, Ragnarok takes its inspiration from Norse mythology’s cyclical tale of the same name. It is a story about fate and determination, mortals and gods, the world’s end and its rebirth.
What is it to be one face in a million, walking through the end of your world?
The world is breaking.
Ragnarok creates a bold, haunting and multisensory theatrical world, populated by scores of hand-crafted clay figures and an atmospheric immersive soundtrack.
In co-production with Firgurteatret I Nordland (Nordland Visual Theatre) and in association with Macrobert Arts Centre, multi-award-winning Tortoise in a Nutshell create an enthralling new production that fuses forms to stunning effect, blending human performance, puppetry and hand-crafted live animation in their most ambitious production to date.
Recommended age: 13yrs+
