ICARUS REDUX Closes 1/17 at the Factory Theatre
Icarus Redux is a modern explosion of the classic Greek myth about art, loss, and the longing to fly. Combining themes of sexual transgression, familial bonds, and artistic creation with a beautifully austere design, the underground hit of the 2009 Toronto Fringe is revamped and reimagined.The show runs until January 17 and is part of the 2010 Next Stage Festival.
Daedalus is alone, grief-stricken and crying out to ‘non-God', when his world is invaded by the boy - at once the son he lost and a disturbing reflection challenging his unsteady grip on sanity. Innovative visuals - including puppetry and stage-spanning wings - mix with one of the most talked about scripts of the year to create a theatre experience that is challenging, moving, and unforgettable.
