Helios (Edinburgh Preview)

Thursday 11 July, 9pm

About

A lad lives halfway up a historic hill. A teenager is on a road trip to the city in a stolen car. A boy is driving a chariot, pulling the sun across the sky

A story about the son of the god of the sun, Helios transplants the Ancient Greek tale into a modern-day myth wound round the winding roads of rural England - and into the everyday living of a towering city.

It’s a story about life, the invisible monuments we build to it, and the little things that leave big marks.

From ‘Masters of Storytelling’ (Fourthwall) Wright&GraingerHelios is the award-winning follow up to the internationally-acclaimed OrpheusEurydice, and The Gods The Gods The Gods. Join them in a little room with a tape player - and a delicate tale to tell.
