Wright&Grainger – HELIOS

–

Uniek in Theater de Richel! De Londense groep Wright&Grainger komt in januari 2027 spelen in onze Foyer.

——————

A lad lives half way 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 amodern-day myth wound round the winding roads of rural England – and into the everydayliving of a towering city. It’s a story about life, the invisible monuments we build to it, andthelittle things that leave big marks.

From ‘Masters of Storytelling’ (FOURTHWALL) Wright&Grainger, HELIOS is the award-winning follow up to the internationally-acclaimed ORPHEUS, EURYDICE, and THE GODS THEGODS THE GODS. Join them in a little room with a tape player – and a delicate tale to tell.

HELIOS is a co-production with SISMO stories&peformances.
