HELIOS

Told by Alexander Wright with an epic cinematic score by Phil Grainger.

 A lad lives half-way up a historic hill. A teenager is on a road trip to the city in a stolen car. A boy is driving a chariot, pulling the sun across the sky.

Award-winning "masters of storytelling", Wright & Grainger bring from the UK their brand-new story about little things that leave big marks.

A contemporary retelling of the ancient myth of Helios – the Sun -and the fall of Phaeton..
