Between the Sun & the Sea by Atlas Descending:
Tuesday 5 September : 3-4pm & 7-8pm
A young man loses his home and is stuck in limbo.
A boy locked in a tower builds wings to escape.
Inspired by the myth of Icarus, the debut work from Atlas Descending explores imagination as a means of escape. Just as Icarus built wings and flew towards the sun, our hero dreams of flying away.
