prometheus.

a woman who has sacrificed her voice to be respected. a ‘straight white man’ grappling with the gravity of his privilege. a disabled trans man placing his trust in the world to see him. three stories are woven together by the enduring myth of ‘prometheus.’ - the titan who created us out of clay. 

‘prometheus.’ celebrates the importance of storytelling and the bonds that unite us. in an explosion of music, story, and movement, three performers and one musician unravel the threads of power, identity, and what it means to be human. 

"more than just a modern retelling of the myth of one of the most famous titans of greek mythology, ‘prometheus.’ forces you to examine your relationship to your body, to fire, to your voice, to life itself." ★★★★★ Megan Hogan, Fringefeed, 2024

Presented by: perhaps, a theatre company.

‘perhaps, a theatre company.’, created by emmett aster, is a semi-professional theatre company blurring the lines that separate theatre from other art forms to tell human stories and explore the feelings that, perhaps, we’ve all felt.
