Combining spoken word, lyrical storytelling and a pulsating electronic live score, this is the thrilling story of Òran and his journey to rescue his best friend from the Underworld. Should he arrive there, Hades might grant him the chance to lead his friend home…but at what cost? This award-winning visceral piece of contemporary theatre is a collaboration between Wonder Fools, ‘a blazing powerhouse of invention and activity’ (Scotsman) and the acclaimed hip-hop artist Owen Sutcliffe with music by VanIves, creating an urgent and entertaining modern retelling of the classic Greek myth Orpheus. Originally staged in the Edinburgh Fringe 2024 for a sold-out run in partnership with Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Pleasance Theatre.
