Tröll

“I believe in Truntum Runtum and my troll’s in the rocks.”
 
For 17 million years, give or take a century or two, the trolls have had the island all to themselves. They've dug canyons, made themselves cozy caves, and enjoyed the quiet tranquility of the midnight sun. The trolls were happy. But now... Now everything is different. The humans have come. Building houses. Laying roads. Making noise... Lots, and lots of noise.  Will these very different beings be able to live together?
 
Tröll reimagines some of the country’s most popular folk tales, told through the eyes of a little girl and her unusual friend in the mountains. With handcrafted puppets and a stunning original score influenced by old world melodies by Paul Mosely. A little bit folk tale, a little bit ghost story, all magic. Tröll is an unmissable experience for the whole family.

 „Ég trúi á Truntum Runtum og tröllin mín í klettunum.“
 
Í 17 milljón ár (gæti skeikað um öld eða tvær) hafa tröllin átt þessa eyju alveg fyrir sig. Þau grófu gljúfur, gerðu sér heimilislega skúta, og nutu kyrrðar og friðar miðnætursólarinnar. Tröllin voru glöð. En núna… Núna er allt breytt. Mannfólkið er komið. Það byggir hús. Leggur vegi. Hefur hátt… Svo óskaplega hátt. Geta þessar ólíku verur búið saman?
 
Tröll er endurtúlkun á sumum vinsælustu tröllasögum landsins, sögð með sjónarhorni lítillar telpu og óvanalega vininum hennar úr fjöllunum. Brúðurnar eru handgerðar, og hljóðmyndin er samin af hinu virta breska tónskáldi Paul Mosley, en söngurinn er í höndum heimamanna í Húnaþingi vestra. Þetta er svolítil þjóðsaga, smá draugasaga, eintómir töfrar. Tröll eru ógleymanleg leikhúsupplifun fyrir alla fjölskylduna.
