Production details
n this haunting reimagination, witness the allure and danger of youth as young Dorian embraces a life of decadence and indulgence under the influence of the hedonistic Lord Henry Wotton. As the enigmatic Basil Hallward's painting captures Dorian's true beauty, a supernatural pact is formed - one where Dorian's appearance remains eternally flawless while his soul slowly decays. A moment of revelation ignites a dark descent for Dorian as he recklessly pursues love, pleasure, and vice, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. Fresh o its critically acclaimed premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2022, this extraordinary production infuses daring movement, stylized storytelling, and live original music to create contrasting moments of beauty and malevolent horror. Delve into the depths of the human soul as you bear witness to the decay of Dorian's conscience and the consequences of his choices. As Wilde once said, "Each of us has heaven and hell in him," but how far will Dorian go to preserve his beauty at the cost of his soul?
