Teater La ruée vers l’or (The Gold Rush)

Arktiske fortællinger / Arctic Tall Tales

In the early 1950s, at the age of 19, a young Danish man Jørn Riel landed for the first time on the northeastern coast of Greenland. He spent 16 years together with experienced hunters, immortalizing their stories with humor in 10 books and 88 short stories.

Confinement, loneliness, rationing, bad weather…

Jørn Riel writes: ‘The big wilderness, the majestic snowcovered landscapes and the incredible stories, left to us by our faithful friends, makes us long for new adventures and freedom.’

Are they truths, lies or myths? Who knows? One thing is for sure. These extraordinary stories will surely charm you!

Arctic Tall Tales is originally a collection of novels filled with humor and humanity. But this version is larger than life, in which puppetry, history telling, music and sound landscapes mix together to create an unusual, poetic universe
