Legend
Legend throws a contemporary perspective on the ancient Greek myths. Once all the monsters have been killed and all the adventures had, what is left? In a new twist on an age old set up, a prince is shipwrecked on a deserted island only to find it wasn't so deserted after all.
Through a physical, colourful and imaginative live theatrical event, Legend tells the story of the young Prince Demophon, who has not achieved the glories he dreams of and finds himself trapped on an island with a revenge-seeking King and his innocent daughter Cora.
The King is there to find Typhon, a titan capable of breeding a new race of monsters with which to terrorise the world. The price he must pay is his daughter's life. She has been kept innocent by Oneiro, the last magical creature, who has the power to show people their dreams but also, in the case of Cora, to take them away.
Legend is a tale about revenge, love and dreams told in a modern re-working of the ancient Greek style. It aims to tantalise the audience's imagination to create the stories of great and tragic events.

Pulse
An asteroid threatens to collide with Earth and wipe out all living existence. The world powers have promised the asteroid will be destroyed and it will be nothing more than an elaborate light show in the sky.
However, Alex can't shake his feeling of uncertainty about this assurance. Alex's best friend, Jesse, finds him in a local park and does his best to pull him out of his misery. Jesse calls for aid from their friends: Sarah, Alex's girlfriend, and the anarchistic duo, Grant and Evie, who couldn't care less if the world ended tonight.
As the event draws near and the clock counts down a new arrival joins the group, a man who has suffered a blow to the head and has lost his memory. Through each other's company and comfort, each of them will answer the question :
What would you do if the world was going to end tonight?
