Maighdeann-ròin, or " Selkie" is a Celtic/Scottish legend about a shapeshifter - half woman and half seal. In the story she gets taken hostage by a man who steals her coat so that she can't return to the sea.
It is a magical, beautiful and sat story that taps into today's suppression of women, and the constant fight for freedom and equality. It does not matter how old or young you are - in this suite there is something for everyone. Secrets and messages are hidden everywhere in a mix of snow sculptures, glittering ice, music and a bittersweet story that plays out the moment you step inside the room.
