Sassafrass Performs Sundown: Whispers of Ragnorak at Balticon 2013

Full set on Flickr

I couldn't take as many photos as I would have liked because the flash was bothering the performers. The astute may spot rushthatspeaks among them.

These are wonderful photos.

I've never heard of Sundown: Whispers of Ragnarok. Is it a folk song, or some sort of monologue?

I loved the faery contingent, and the group from Indonesia (elaborate, colourful costumes for the win!)

Sassafrass is an a capella folk/fannish singing group, headed up by composer/singer Ada Palmer. It includes a couple of my online friends.

Sundown is a musical play/song cycle about the Norse gods. The link just given includes some audio files of a couple of the songs.

They recently had a Kickstarter campaign to finance the traveling, in-costume performance troupe and a professionally recorded CD.

Thanks for the links! I enjoy folk groups.
