Nykkjen Belar te Heiemo: The Bale of Charm

My work is a journey into the mythological world.  Seduced by Jung and his protégés, I have begun to understand this type of expedition as an allegory of psychological exploration.  I am lead by mythological characters and motifs, such as the Phoenix, Nøkken, the Moon, or the Unicorn.  I hunt down the earliest references to these beings in literature, folk tales and music, keeping alert for their appearance in contemporary society (i.e., in my own experience).  I see it as being of great significance when and where these figures appear.  I wish to capture these moments in writing, and through performance explore their archetypal nature.
