Taste of Iceland in Seattle: Iceland Day
October 19, 2019 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Learn all about Icelandic culture with an exciting theatrical performance from Icelandic theater group, Leikhópurinn Lotta, a panel to discuss Kids Rights and an Icelandic-inspired face painting celebration!
Theater performance:
Lottas Musical Medley is a 20-30 minute musical performance/stand up where a number of songs from Lotta’s many adventures through the years are performed by some of the most popular characters from their Forest of fables. They take you on an adventure with humorous twists and turns. You can expect everything from the kindness and resourcefulness of Dorothy of Oz or Little Red Riding Hood to clash with the hideously wicked and inappropriate antics of the Icelandic troll Gilitrutt or the Big Bad Wolf.
