oriana

Written By: Karl Wallace and Rachel O’Riordan
Directed By: By Karl Wallace
Production Premiere:  February 2001

An enchanting, dark modern fairy tale about a little girl who lives in a box, her adventures and her quest to find home.

Oriana, meaning the chosen one or golden one, goes on a journey with three sleep travellers.  Each of the travellers disappears during different seasons within the year, signifying a passing of time. Oriana chooses not to join them and carry on her travels.

60 minutes of dance, music and dynamic theatre without one word spoken.
