THUNDERING SNOW
The story takes place in pagan
times in Lapland, but has clear
links to the modern day. Mother
Nature is suffering, the air thick
with flying witches blinded by
greed and selfishness. Man thinks he is almighty and capable. But is just a
fox, reindeer calf, sprig, spring flower, small fish. Defiance and selfishness
become destructive powers. From behind the stars a force stronger than
man emerges.
Thundering snow, a musical saga of the Sky Witches during the winter
season 2015-2016 in Rovaniemi, Lappia House.
