Performance storytelling by: Nell Phoenix.

-

At the northerly point of north, before you reach the place where it's south in every direction, it gets very, very cold. In this snow-blinding place the weirdest, wildest stories are told; fierce, rude, funny and seriously strange.

Nell Phoenix revels in the earthy humour and passions of Arctic stories, peopled with unconventional families, the desperate and lonely-hearted, and elderly relatives whose attempts to assist are misguided, to say the least.

This is a place where what happens next is probably not what you'd expect - and some images will stay with you forever...
