The Myth Project: Twin – Arthur for MTC’s Neon Season

Overview

As part of this year's NEON Festival, The Myth Project: Twin by Arthur (the surrealist adventurers behind Cut Snake) is exploring the depths of the human psyche and the strength of blood ties.

After the disappearance of her twin sister, Ana falls into a dark alternative reality, a world ruled by dreams and riddles. Ana is confronted with the dead, The Queen of Grief (who is practising her cabaret number. Obviously), and two tricksters leading a tribe of lost children, among others. Before she can save her twin, Ana must accept an inheritance she never thought was hers, and doing so won't be easy.

Described as a mix of opera-noir, cabaret and naturalistic drama, The Myth Project: Twin is the first instalment of Arthur's multi-play episodic exploration of the Australian psyche. The production features a large ensemble from regional Australia as well as multiple writers.
