The man he was walking in the Veda forest, where a crow was sitting in the grove and barking. The man he thought to himself, will believe if that crow will kill me? ”

The Man and the Seagull is a theatrical performance based on the medieval ballad Kråkevisa, where the man who went to the forest to chop wood – or to the lighthouse to turn on the lantern – takes up the fight against a seemingly huge and deadly crow.

Vadmelsbanden’s performances are played outdoors, in close connection with nature, where darkness, bonfires and magnificent tableaux facilitate a different performing arts experience. Based on the well-known folk song, Vadmelsbanden explores man’s encounter with death, nature and his own destiny.
