Hearing Game Warrior's Son
How does it sound?
With music by Béla Bartók, played by the Cello Octet Amsterdam, this Oorkaan radio play by actor Steven Stavast tells the adventurous story of a brave warrior's son in the forest.
In a deep forest, a brave warrior son lives with his mother and his best friend Raven. The warrior son guards the fort when his mother is out hunting. Together with Raven, he has the most wonderful adventures in the forest. They do races running, races flying, and they eat and dance together. And every night, when it gets dark, his mother lights the campfire. But one night when dusk falls, the treehouse remains empty and the campfire out. The warrior son goes in search of his mother in the deep, dark forest, overcoming his fears.
Inspired by the concert Cello Warriors by Oorkaan and the Cello Octet Amsterdam, featuring music by Béla Bartók.
