"The World of Jotner is a street theatre performance based on Norse mythology. It revolves around fire lighting a frozen layer, Niflheim, and in the meeting between ice and fire drops arise. The Jotner (giants, in Norse mythology) are born and cause natural disasters. The production starts when four performers descend from the roof of the grain silo."
