Daedalus and Icarus - Iran: New Voices

Work:: Daedalus and Icarus (S183223463)

In an attempt to escape imprisonment from King Minos' labyrinth, Daedalus invents a flying machine to free himself and his son Icarus from the island. Performed in Persian with English surtitles, using deliberately low-tech inventiveness on a simple set, Mungu Theatre Company explores the complex father-son relationship and Daedalus' autocratic nature that eventually leads to Icarus' catastrophic death.
