Production details
A boy stands on a lakeshore. Behind him is all he's ever known. Ahead: a chance for love but a much higher chance of death. He's had a happy life, and a sheltered one. But his father gambled away that life, the debt cannot be paid in money and it won't be his father who pays. Childhood is over... Dominic Kelly, Bridget Marsden & Leif Ottosson combine storytelling and music into a playful and gripping performance. They bring to life an ancient full-?blooded fairy tale for modern audiences, weaving versions from Norway, Scotland, Ireland and India with contemporary Scandinavian folk music. Through it they explore the consequences for the young when older generations fail to make adult decisions.
