Mythological Theatre
We keeps myths and legends alive by combining storytelling, theatre and stage combat in ways that have never been done before.
“If ever there were a way to tell such an epic story it is through professional wrestling”
- - Broadway World
Professional wrestling is one of the most recognisable yet least understood performance arts in the world. Considered a ‘fake sport’ or a low form of entertainment, it has always been kept out of a theatrical setting - until now.
We create shows that combine the narrative plot of theatre with the interactive style of storytelling and the spectacular action of wrestling. Our show are not about wrestling; they use wrestling and wrestlers to create theatre experiences like no other.
