Aurora: A Modern Myth
Prime Cut Productions
“You can’t collaborate with a tree. We’re not interested in the tree.”
“Well isn’t that just the absolute heart of it?”
Cass is on a mission to save her friend. They’ve been close since childhood and she’ll do anything for her mates; even when the mate in question is a tree. She has a plan, an industrial-strength chain, and… well that’s enough to begin with.
Set in a fictional Irish village following the opening of a new gold mine, Aurora: A Modern Myth follow’s Cass’ protest as she grapples with what comes next for us and our planet.
Utilising cutting edge gaming animation and immersive theatrical visuals, this is a genre-bending experience where different realities smash together.
Brought to you by the multi-award-winning Prime Cut Productions, this World Premiere of a new work by Dominic Montague is a definite Festival highlight.
