Yet myths are more than stories: they express what it feels like to be alive and explain our experiences of the world around us. They answer timeless questions and remind us that our forbearers were asking the same things thousands of years ago. Myths prove we are no further away from our ancestors than a few carefully chosen words; engaging with mythology tugs at the threads that bind us together through history.

Yet unlike history, which records facts and events that are written in stone, mythology explains our place in the universe – which means it is never fixed. As our world changes so too must our mythology, otherwise it no longer explains our current experiences or expresses what it means to be a human being living right now. Like us, mythology is very much alive.

Performing living stories requires something more immersive than traditional theatre. It needs a form of live performance that reflects and responds to the feelings of the audience…

I use wrestling in Mythos because it’s real: it’s improvisational, reactive and dangerous. We aren’t pretending to hit each other. We aren’t wearing hidden pads. We aren’t falling onto a trampoline. We’re trying not to hurt each other and we’ve trained for years to minimise the danger of what we do, but there are no tricks: it’s a performance, but it’s exactly as real as it looks.
