Helios

A boy lives halfway up a hill. Another speeds towards the city in a stolen car. Somewhere else, a child drives the sun itself across the sky.

HELIOS reimagines an Ancient Greek myth for the modern world, threading the story of the sun god’s son through rural roads and towering cityscapes. As past and present blur, the tale explores how we live, what we leave behind, and the small moments that quietly shape everything.

Created by Wright & Grainger — hailed as “Masters of Storytelling” (FOURTHWALL) — this intimate production is the award-winning successor to Orpheus, Eurydice and The Gods The Gods The Gods. Performed in close quarters, with simple storytelling tools and a tape player at its heart, HELIOS invites audiences into a space where myth feels personal, fragile and deeply human.

A poetic, modern myth about memory, movement and the invisible monuments we build to life.
