We aren’t as different from our ancestors as we think. Our desires – while modern at a glance – are deeply rooted in the same human condition. The need to be remembered.
Jorvik is a bold, immersive theatre experience set in the aftermath of the Viking conquest of Eoforwic. As the Great Viking Army seizes control, the audience steps into a feasting hall where victory is celebrated – but beneath the revelry lies tension, questions of legacy, and the looming shadow of power.
At the heart of the story is Ubbe Ragnarson, son of the legendary Ragnar Lothbrok, who must navigate the weight of his newfound rule, the expectations of his people and an encounter with the enigmatic Odin himself. Through song, storytelling, combat, and audience interaction, Jorvik explores the Viking obsession with glory, fate, and the need to be remembered.
No two performances are the same – the audience shapes the night, just as the Skalds once shaped history.
