Musical, Storytelling

Wise One follows a young woman seeking welcome on the darkest night of the year, inspired by the Norwegian folk tale "The Seventh Father of the House." Her journey will introduce her to Nordic and Romanian folk characters and customs--nisser, tomte, fierce animals, and maybe even trolls! Impossible Salt's wild, inimitable style blends drama and with beloved folk songs sung in their original language, as well as new music composed for the production by MMC artistic director, Mischa Santora.
