Kiviuq the Endless Wanderer — Arctic & Circumpolar (Rare) | Bedtime World Tour
Tonight we travel to the Arctic, to a man whose story is not one story but dozens, told across thousands of miles by people who had never met each other and who all knew his name. A storm scatters the kayaks and only Kiviuq comes through it, alive and alone somewhere he does not recognise. What follows is not a quest and there is nothing he has to fetch. He is simply trying to get home, and cannot, and the travelling goes on so long that it stops being a journey and becomes what his life is.
A world folktale every night, told to help you fall asleep. Follow the show so tomorrow night's story…
