Stars and their Consolations

Stories of the stars told to an electro-acoustic soundtrack

A majestic, intimate and hypnotic re-imagining of Greek myths and legends weaving ancient stories, cosmic projections and a spine-tingling electro-acoustic soundscape. 
 

Adverse Camber productions in association with Theatrau Sir Gar 

Be transported into the night sky on the breath of stories that have lit up the darkness for thousands of years. Greek myths of constellations are brought dazzlingly to life by two of the UK’s titans of storytelling, Hugh Lupton and Daniel Morden. Experience powerful, ancient stories with a thrilling electro-acoustic soundscape by composer, Sarah Liane Lewis and cosmic projection. Dive into an enthralling and truly magical adventure. Witness the gods playing mercilessly with mortals with stories of lust, pride and passion that will leave you with a hunger to discover more…

The epic sweep of the night sky brings a cosmic, eternal perspective to human troubles, offering much needed consolation for our times.
