The table is set. The banquet is ready. Please, join us. Your host is the nemesis of your forefathers, the sea-hag, the bog-witch, mother of Grendel, an ancient magickal creature in the form of a middle-aged lady, thirsting for revenge.

Experience this fierce one-woman theatrical event where mythology crashes into modern society during an actual feast, with food and drink curated by the Black Forest Inn (show-only tickets also available)! Get ready to dig in.

Do you trust your leaders? When is violence justified? What sins can be pardoned? How long has it been since you've been touched?

Mark Twain wrote: "There are five kinds of actresses: bad actresses, fair actresses, good actresses, great actresses–and then there is Sarah Bernhardt." It's 1899 in Paris, and legendary diva Sarah Bernhardt needs a crowd-pleaser to save her debt-ridden theatre company. So she decides to ditch the dresses and tackle her most ambitious role yet: Hamlet! The city watches to see whether this bold plan will be her legacy or folly. High comedy and human drama collide in this vivid account of a 19th century woman issuing a challenge to the system. And it's as timely as ever.

Collide Theatrical Presents SKOL!

When a mysterious illness befalls a Viking clan, a young woman is called to fulfill her destiny as a great warrior leader in a battle for the cure with the Christian army. Inspired by the Norse gods, her journey tests the boundaries of her faith, shakes the ground of the relationships with the men dearest in her life, and causes her to question the definition of female strength. 

 

Inspired by recent evidence of the grave of a female Viking holding the accoutrements and injury marks of a prestigious warrior, the discovery cast a new light on gender roles in Scandinavian history. Collide tells the story through its signature blend of high-energy dance styles and explores this fascinating story with an original pop rock/rap score composed by Twin Cities musician Mike Michel (Bill Mike Band), with lyrics by vocalists Rush Benson (Ordway) and Katie Gearty (Dakota Jazz Club). 

 

Created by Collide Artistic Director, Regina Peluso, the production stars Renee Guittar and Jarod Boltjes.
