The Snow Queen of Spitsbergen

Set in the icy mining village of Barentsburg, the performance follows brave Gerda on her journey to rescue Kai from the Snow Queen's frozen palace. The tale is brought to life through spoken word poetry, puppetry, live music, and interactive storytelling. At the end of the performance, the audience journeys together through an aurora forest filled with light, sound, and sensation.
