Runarslaget - The Runic Stroke - is a musical adventure based on a Norwegian medieval ballad about the power of music - a Norwegian and distinctive offshoot of the Greek myth of "Orpheus and Eurydice". 
With the support of SISU, Øyonn has deepened and developed the old ballad material into a dramatic whole of rich contrasts with an exciting selection of percussion and string instruments. The forerunner of Runarslaget is the meditative work Runartromma from 2009, which Øyonn created for the Telemark Festival's 20th anniversary, also with the SISU percussion ensemble.
