Performs on the 19th of April at 1PM + 4PM in Den Grå Hal, Refshalevej 2, 1436 København K. (CHILDREN FROM THE AGE OF 6)
A poetic tale of light and darkness, dreams and magic – for children and their adults!
Based on the creation myth, Raven steals the light, which originates from the Haida people (British Columbia, Canada) darkness is staged as a magical space for strange appearances and transformations. The myth tells how Raven succeeds in returning the light to a world swallowed by darkness. Through magic, visual theatre, and music, the tale is retold, and the darkness is tamed.
A custom-built and light-sealed dome forms a theatre space that embraces both stage and audience. A cave where total darkness can be created – a traveling fragment of the night.
Please note! Although complete darkness occurs in a few scenes, the performance is created with young audiences in mind (from 6 years).
