solo single point lyra performance at @ Aloft Circus Arts (Chicago, IL) November 2024 Communion Showcase

Because Charles Dickens’ miserly Ebenezer Scrooge looks downright friendly when compared to Iceland’s meanest Christmas tale: Jólakötturinn, or the child-eating Yule Cat. Jólakötturinn is a black cat the size of a house that roams the Icelandic countryside on Christmas Eve, attacking and eating children who fail to wear at least one new piece of clothing. Be good, and you’ll get a new sweater or pair of socks on Christmas. But if you misbehave, bad news: not only will you not get a new sweater, but you’ll be eaten by Jólakötturinn—in a horrific and ghastly way, no less. (atlasobscura.com)
