World renowned for his playful & physical performances, let Ben Haggarty lure you into a full-blooded fairytale for grown-ups. This rare tale of male initiations is a story of power, knowledge, responsibility, alchemy, and the darkest magic of all.
Evocative, unflinching, and beautiful by turn, this distant variant of the legend of Wayland the Smith explores that enduring relationship between teacher and apprentice. This is a place where rules aren't broken lightly.
Running Time: 70mins (no interval)
Suitable for: Adults (14+.
Content notes: The performance contains references to death, violence, mutilation, and animal cruelty contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative, archetype, and metaphor.
