Oruk by Fel Scen is based on an Inuit tale of a boy - Oruk - whose mother is a seal. One day, she falls ill and must return to the sea. But where is her seal skin? And what will happen with Oruk? Will he follow her?

The story is told using things related to the sea. Water and salt and the like makes up the stage design, creating scenes, moods and characters.
