Summary
The legends found in the ancient Icelandic Edda form the basis for a unique collaboration between the medieval music ensemble Sequentia and the visual direction of Ping Chong. Sung in Old Norse, the production incorporates visual projections, singers, and instrumentalists. The music is chanted to the original Eddic poems and spoken texts are adapted and interpolated from the Prose Edda of Snorri Sturluson.
