Located literally near the end of the Earth, at the Sápmi Cultural Park in Karasjok, Norway, the Sápmi Magic Theatre opens a unique window into the ancient mythologies of the reindeer herding people known as the Sami.
The theater utilizes an innovative combination of cutting-edge media technologies to share the Sami myths and wisdom with new generations of locals and international tourists. The host for this enlightening adventure is an old Sami shaman whose face appears, via the magic of layered digital imagery, in the flames of a campfire. In-theater effects such as smoke, fiber optics and fog give shape to the tale he tells, opening hearts and minds to the unique Sami worldview.
