RAGNAROK: A NIGHT CARNIVAL OF FATE! Immersive Event - Main Image

This April, join us for a night of fate and destiny at the end of the world with Ragnarok: A Night Carnival of Fate! Find your fate as the Norns, Moirai, and Morrigan set your path, cut your thread, and send you on a journey as you’ve never experienced before with performances from some of Portland’s best alternative artists! As the night progresses - dance your destiny with the portentous sounds of HIVE’s gothic DJs until the wee hours in this fateful collaboration! This costume party and variety show invites you to dress up, test your destiny, and enjoy an evening of preternatural performances as the weavers of fate, determiners of destiny, and tragic heroes mingle in a four-hour evening of portentous proportions. Inspired by mythological personifications of destiny, harbingers of fate, and the end of the world as we know it, Ragnarok is a night for every Oedipus, Banshee, and Vardøger alike, whether you intend to fulfill your destiny - or escape it. Come dressed as your favorite representation of Fate and enjoy delightfully indulgent cocktails from The Steep and Thorny Way to Heaven mixologists Myrrh Larsen and Megan Skye Hale, magical wares from our featured local vendor, and get a glimpse of your future from the cards at our tarot table.

About Speculative Drama

Speculative Drama was founded to explore the intersection of classic stories and immersive theatre. Helmed by Artistic Director and London-trained classical and movement actor Megan Skye Hale and Creative Director, Sound Designer and Portland-based musician Myrrh Larsen, Speculative Drama aims to reclaim the relevance of myths, fairy tales, and Shakespeare through movement theatre, immersive staging, and site-specific production. In an ongoing collaboration with local underground performance venue The Steep and Thorny Way to Heaven, we place the audience directly into the action of our productions. Combining the principles of site-specific theatre, rich and immersive soundscapes, and an extremely intimate setting, we create an atmosphere of innovation while honoring and maintaining the original texts or source materials.
