About Óran
Combining spoken word, lyrical storytelling and a pulsating electronic live score, this is the thrilling story of Òran and his journey to rescue his best friend from the Underworld. Should he arrive, Hades might grant him the chance to lead his friend home…but at what cost?
This visceral piece of contemporary theatre is a collaboration between Wonder Fools, ‘one of Scotland’s most exciting new companies’ (Scotsman) and the acclaimed hip-hop artist Owen Sutcliffe in partnership with Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Pleasance Theatre with music by VanIves, creating an urgent, entertaining, modern retelling of the classic Greek myth Orpheus.
