"The Bearskin" is a chilling folktale collected by the
Brothers Grimm in 1812, and found
in many version throughout Europe.
In a variation on the medieval story of Faust, the story tells of
an aging soldier who bets his own soul in a bargain with
the devil.
The condition of the wager is that the soldier must
travel the world without washing his body or clothes for
seven years, draped in the skin of bear.
The Grimm's' tale is framed in romantic imagery,
and Tom Lee's retelling reveals the underlying powerful metaphors of the human
condition.
The program is approximately 45 minutes in length, and
may be coupled with other stories for an evening-length
program. |
