Wright&Grainger's SELENE

From the creators of ORPHEUS , EURYDICE and THE GODS THE GODS THE GODS comes a new sibling show to the hugely acclaimed HELIOS

A STORY ABOUT THE GODDESS AND THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

A radical explosion of an ancient myth about the moon from the internationally award-winning company Wright&Grainger

 

A young girl watches the moon landings on repeat.

A teenager makes a list of all the things they are not.

A young adult starts to discover who they are.

 

A story about the light sides of us, the dark sides of us, and the things we grow up in the orbit of. And about the stuff inside us, all the wild stuff inside us.
