Support our first production: "Krabat"

Krabat - The magic of Disobedience. Adapted, directed, and produced in-house by The Crows and supported by SoFFT Productions, Krabat is a fresh adaptation of the Sorbian myth tailored to a contemporary Irish audience.

What we Need

 

We currently have a small grant from Sofft Productions to support our production. This gives us enough money to cover our actors’ wages and transport to and from the venue. We require additional funds to rent rehearsal space, purchase costume pieces, props, and other materials, and – most importantly – compensate our Assistant Director/Stage Manager. This fund also seeks to modestly honour the time Franziska, Eftychia, and Holly dedicated to this project. If you support us in paying all the people involved in the production, this gives us more range for all the other expenses.

KRABAT

 

Krabat follows the story of a young girl who is called to a mill deep in the woods. After becoming an apprentice to the mysterious miller, she not only learns his craft but also the secrets of black magic. She soon discovers that the power of magic comes with a price and is ultimately confronted with the choice to follow years of tradition or break the rules and blaze her own path.

 

The story of Krabat allows the audience to contemplate questions of intergenerational conflict and the duty of disobedience within a magical context. When do traditions no longer apply to our current reality? And what does it mean for a young person to move against age-old rules and traditions?

 

The production is specifically designed for the beautiful and extraordinary outdoor venue of Dunderry Park. Following Krabat through her story, we will explore the site’s wonderful nature anew and find the magic in the ordinary – strolling together through the woods and over the meadows. We specifically welcome families and audience interaction.

 

Suitable for ages 5 to 105!
