Heady Conduct bring their enthralling, atmospheric and critically acclaimed production of Tiresias to Thorington Theatre.
A forerunner of fortune or a man who is helpless to what he has seen? Tiresias may be blind, but he has seen more than any man or woman who has lived six lifetimes. When Hera rips out his eyes, Zeus grants Tiresias a gift more precious than a thousand burning torches in the darkness — he is given the gift to predict the future.
The play follows Tiresias’ journey as he lives through renowned Greek myths and legends. Heady Conduct weave together physical storytelling and live music with flair as they tell Tiresias’ tale in their potent and intoxicating style.
On the international debut at Auckland Fringe 2019, Tiresias was chosen for The New Zealand Herald’s Critics’ Choice.
“Utterly spellbinding ★★★★★”
“The show was underscored with a consistently beautiful yet ethereal score underpinning Tiresias’ tragedies”
