Little Vikings are Never Lost

Inspired by sweeping Norwegian landscapes and contemporary Scandinavian music, Little Vikings Are Never Lost is an original theatrical event, within which the audience inhabit an installed other-world. A young woman wanders through an entirely fabricated environment, surrounded by trinkets, odd objects and surreal constructions. We meet her in a place to lose oneself in, or, as it transpires, a place to run away. Holding herself responsible for a tragedy in her childhood, the woman, Siv, constructs a world for herself - a surreal and absurd landscape that grows and becomes a model for life. When the anonymous letters begin to arrive, Siv's world comes under threat from intrusions both comforting and tormenting, reminders of a journey she has been trying to forget. Siv begins to realise she can't be lost forever. Someone knows where she is, and someone is coming to get her. Drawing on contemporary visual and conceptual art, Little Vikings are Never Lost is a solo performance devised and performed by Jenna Watt. Using elements of physical theatre and strong imagery, Jenna Watt is an emerging artist whose first solo piece, BENCH, was presented at the National Review of Live Art.
