Kore at The Cockpit

KORE is a raw, darkly comic journey through the underworlds of grief, prescription drug dependence, and flawed friendships.

When grief shatters Sam's world, she freefalls into prescription addiction. Her friends Nick and Jenna try to pull her back to the surface—but instead, they become reluctant fellow travellers, each drowning in their struggles.

With the "help" of her eccentric psychiatrist, Dr. Whimsey, her Deliveroo drug dealer, Darren, and her climate-activist mother, Demi—too busy protesting the end of the world to notice Sam's apocalypse—Sam's descent becomes a tragicomedy of survival.

There are no heroes, just humans failing beautifully together.

With Chloe Mason's haunting original score underscoring every step of the descent, KORE reimagines the Persephone myth as a fearless, funny and devastating spiral: an ode to all the ways we numb, fight, or fail to cope.
