A event held at The Cube on Thursday 22nd February. The event starts at 20:00.
No remembering without forgetting...
No rebirth without death...
No ascent without descent...
These are the mysteries.
Storyteller Ben Haggarty, and musician Jonah Brody, become guides to the dark places. Enter a subterranean dreamscape to meet Dionysus - God of Wine, born once from his mother and again from Zeus; Orpheus who can only find love through separation; Eurydice and Persephone eternally bound to the land of the dead; and Aphrodite scattering the seeds of chaos through which we must wade to find sense.
Ben Haggarty reads between the lines of Greek Mythology to restores them to their terrifying and truly awesome glory. This is world-class storytelling - dark, magical, and provocative.
Whatever you do - don't look back...
