premiere!</span></b><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';"> The goddess <b>Freyja</b> (or is she?) is tending Yggdrasil, the World Ash Thee (or is
it?), trying to protect it from increasing drought. An itinerant <b>water-bearer</b> tries to persuade Freyja
to go with him to where water is plentiful. She refuses. Does the world really
depend on this single tree, or is this a self-generating myth? All is made
clear (or is it?) when <b>Odin</b>, the
One-Eyed God (or is he?) shows up to resolve all questions and save us all (or
can he?).</span></p><p></p>
