M\u00f6rsugur is an opera for voice and audiovisuals created from a poetic tale by Ragnhei\u00f0ur Erla Bj\u00f6rnsd\u00f3ttir. Located in folkloric Icelandic nature, the fragmented storytelling ventures on frequent detours on behalf of mythic-like heroines on which the narrator is built upon. Made in a creative collaboration between \u00c1sbj\u00f6rg J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir, Hei\u00f0a \u00c1rnad\u00f3ttir and Ragnhei\u00f0ur Erla Bj\u00f6rnsd\u00f3ttir, the piece depicts the nuances of being in between worlds, of light and darkness, and memories and the present. Visuals by \u00c1sd\u00eds Birna Gylfad\u00f3ttir.<\/span><\/div>\n
