Beginning at 8pm, the contemporary dance piece tells the ancient Mesopotamian epic, Gilgamesh, a young man who finds fortune and power but angers the Gods as he destroys the forest and its animals in order to fortify the city of Uruk as a monument to himself.
Losing his friend, Enkidu, Gilgamesh passes into history, to become a fragment among the broken remnants of human culture and memory, confronted with the truth and sorrow of human mortality.
The highly acclaimed production explores ritual and highlights the ever-growing threat to the health of our planet.
