Sedna and the Selkie
The seal woman’s skin has been stolen, stranding her on a reef of rage and tragedy. Can she find her true home, freeing her voice? Fay Roberts (Other Voices, Allographic, Hammer & Tongue) navigates a modern mythological sea voyage of hiraeth, poetry, music, and storytelling in this haunting solo show. Today, Little Wonder is delighted to present “Sedna”, one part of “The Selkie: A Song of Seven Waters” filled with beauty, betrayal and loss. Dog men, deception and the first time in your life you’ll be scared of hair. Take a listen.
