((ENGLISH BELOW))
´Heid hun hed,
hvor til huse hun kom
spåede vølve
“Hvad vil I vide?
hvi vil I mig friste?”
Vidt skued hun, vidt
over Verdner alle´
Historieformidling og fysisk teater forenes i denne kunstneriske fortolkning af Sejd-ritualet. Med udgangspunkt i pålidelige historiske kilder og fagmateriale bruger vi kunsten til at forbinde brudstykkerne af fakta, og pakker det ind i en tidsløs ramme.
Sejd er et ritual fra hedensk tid, der faciliterede kontakten med det åndelige, hvor udvalgte kvinder har ladet deres sjæle krydse grænserne mellem verdner. Gennem trancer, musik og meditation har de smidt deres ham og stillet deres kroppe til rådighed for guder, ånder og alt det, vi andre ikke forstår. Meget er endnu uvist omkring denne praksis, men vi ved, at den både har været et beundret og foruroligende element i vores gamle samfundsorden.
HEID HED HUN inviterer publikum med på en transformerende sjælerejse til en forglemt verden, der selv i dag står hen i mystik og uvished.

ENGLISH:
'They called her Heið,
where she came to a house,
The witchwoman cunning in words;
"Why do you ask me,
why do you tempt me?"
She saw wide and broad
over all the worlds.'

A mix of history and physical theatre blends together in this artistic interpretation of the Sejd-ritual. We'll tie historic research and data together with the help of art and convey it through a timeless presentation.
The Sejd is a old heathen ritual meant to establish connections to the spiritual realm. Performed by eccentric women, who were believed to have the ability to spiritually travel between the planes.
Through trance music and meditation they'd shed their skins and offer their bodies as vessels for the gods, spirits and the unknown.
Little is known for certain about this practice but we are able to deduct that it was both a respected and disruptive element in our ancitent societal structure.
In HEID HED HUN we invite the audience to join us on a transforming transcending journey into a forgotten world, that is still riddled with mystery and uncertainty to this day.
