Mythos: Ragnarök
The legendary Edinburgh Fringe Festival phenomenon is finally returning to the Netherlands! This groundbreaking British theatre production combines the world of Norse mythology with professional wrestling. The Telegraph described it as “the perfect way to tell this story”. Shakespearean drama meets raw, physical combat, performed by actors who are also professional wrestlers.
In Mythos: Ragnarök, we follow Loki, Thor and Freyja in a humorous, high-energy and surprisingly moving retelling of the famous Norse myths. The gods face a decisive choice: work together to create a new world, or perish in the apocalyptic battle of Ragnarök. The creators combine the dramatic power of William Shakespeare with the raw excitement of live combat, performed by a unique cast of actors trained in professional wrestling.
The result is an evening filled with spectacular action, impressive handmade costumes and an immersive original soundtrack by composer Kjell Braaten, known for his work with Wardruna and Vikings: Valhalla. After every performance, there will be a Meet & Greet with the cast and crew.
The show was written, directed and produced entirely independently by lead performer Ed Gamester and has already been performed more than 300 times worldwide. Dare to get close to the action? Choose an exclusive seat on stage, right at the heart of the performance. Please note: these seats, and the shows themselves, sell out quickly. Book early to avoid disappointment.
Mythos: Ragnarök is performed in English.
