Synopsis: | Odin had a penchant for disguising himself as an ash tree and going among the humans on earth. Thor took revenge on a thieving ice giant by dressing up as a goddess and marrying him. Balder the indestructible allowed his friends to amuse themselves by throwing hard objects at him. In a world full of such strange and fearsome gods as these, what chance does a mere mortal have to make his mark? I Am A Viking tells the epic tale of a man who gave it his best shot. Directed by leading clown practitioner Gerry Flanagan, be prepared for an exhilarating collision of clowning, theatre, slapstick, and bizarre puppetry. | |||||
