Selur

Þoka

ÞOKA is a Icelandic/Faroese theater production for children that blurs the boundaries between science and mythology. The play revolves around the natural phenomenon of fog, which is, after all, not much more than a swarm of tiny water droplets; a cloud resting on the ground. Two fog scientists hunt for an extremely rare type of fog. Their mission is full of surprises, humour and beauty. Originally performed in Faroese and Icelandic, the play incorporates local languages when touring.
