It combines his narrative with the Viking myth in order to highlight the main aspects of this culture. This is a powerful audiovisual show, which combines theater, music and dance.
This roadshow falls within a project of the Creative Europe Programme, funded by the European Union, in order to make the international Viking heritage more accessible and visible for the general audience. Catoira is a partner of this before mentioned project.
This project will enhance the local economy and it will also contribute to the establishment of a wide and enduring network between the cultural partners involved in the conservation, presentation and the marketing of the Viking legacy. The project has a duration of 4 years, from 2015 to 2019.
The artistic director, Craig Morrison, counts on the collaboration of the Municipal Theatre School “Úrsula” of Catoira, as well as on artist from different parts of Europe.
