The world is breaking.
A golden age is ending.
There have been three years of winter.
The sun hangs low in the sky, unmoving, and the bonds of kinship are failing.
A collision of ancient myth and modern spectacle, Ragnarok takes its inspiration from Norse mythology’s cyclical tale of the same name. It is a story about fate and self-determination, mortals and gods, the world’s end and its rebirth.
A young girl and her brother battle forward, seeking a future in a promised land. Two souls in a sea of thousands move through a fractured world as dream and reality clash around them.
Ragnarok is a bold, haunting and multisensory theatrical world, populated by scores of hand-crafted clay figures and an atmospheric immersive soundtrack. Multi-award-winning Tortoise in a Nutshell’s enthralling production fuses forms to stunning effect, blending human performance, puppetry and hand-crafted live animation.
