Paul Levy talks to Alison Williams-Bailey from Root and Branch Theatre about Creation Song Norse Myths Storytelling.
“Stories from the Norse myths and legends with ballad song, galdr chant and ancient Eddic poetry. This performance tells the story of the Vanir tribe of Norse deities and their influence on creation. It includes a ritual or sacred marriage which was a symbolic representation of the birth of life in the universe. This tradition was sacred to the elder fertility gods with origins in the megalithic era. This is a theatrical storytelling performance and includes song and chant as well as ritual action.”
Root and Branch is “a folk arts theatre company that explores the story or folklore heritage within the UK creating theatre for children and families with folk arts forms such as Mummers plays, animal guising, folk song, and dance.”
