Heady Conduct bring their enthralling, atmospheric and critically acclaimed production of Tiresias to The Roman Theatre.
A forerunner of fortune or a man who is helpless to what he has seen?
Tiresias may be blind, but he has seen more than you or I, had we lived six lifetimes. When Hera rips out his eyes, Zeus grants Tiresias a gift more precious than a thousand burning torches in the darkness — he is given the gift to predict the future.
The play follows Tiresias’ journey as he lives through renowned Greek myths and legends. Heady Conduct weave together physical storytelling and live music with flair and delight to tell Tiresias’ tale in their potent and intoxicating style.
On their international debut at Auckland Fringe 2019, Tiresias was awarded The New Zealand Herald’s Critics’ Choice.
“The clearly talented company bought a warming, thought-provoking and imaginative show which artfully reimagined and rejuvenated classic Greek stories. Simon Rodda excelled in his portrayal of Tiresias with his nuance and subtlety. The show was underscored with a consistently beautiful yet ethereal score underpinning Tiresias’ tragedies.” The New Zealand Herald
