Gilgamesh
Over 3,500 years after this ancient Sumerian epic was first outlined on stone tablets, performance storyteller, Ben Haggarty, and Greek percussionist and Ney player Manya Maratou, bring Gilgamesh to the stage in an extraordinary and powerful performance of one of the oldest stories in the world.
This ultimate quest story, of a bored tyrant ruling a city so beautiful that even the Gods choose to make it their home, explores the nature of power and responsibility; the search for eternal life; the threat of apocalypse, and the deepest secrets of the gods.
Ben Heggarty is internationally renowned for his playful, lively, and provocative performances.
“I was spellbound…If you have a chance to hear the tales which have shaped the dreams of humankind, tales of the gods and monsters that haunt us still, then sit down and listen”
