The story:
The forest burns outside Lata's village. A girl dressed in flames dances in her dreams.
"The firegirl," says the old woman. "She wants to destroy you."
"What have I done?"
"Nothing - yet. But she knows only you have the power to stop her. And if she can't breathe and eat fire, she'll die ."
What is Lata's strange power? And will she learn to use it in time?
A new epic for the twenty-first century, Firegirl draws on ancient eastern and western myths. Storytelling, live music and South Asian dance swirl together with wild digitally-generated projections and haunting, evocative masks - the captivating mixture that has become Moby Duck's trade mark.

"It is deeply absorbing with its powerful themes of jealousy and dispossession, sin, punishment, confession and forgiveness, delivered with the unsentimental elegance of Greek tragedy."

The story:
All Daedalos ever wanted was make toys for small children - but when you're a blacksmith in bronze age Athens, life isn't always that simple. Daedalos works in steel - a tough metal from which you can make swords twice as long as the bronze ones your enemies use. This means you're valuable, and can't be allowed to get away.
Ritually crippled to stop him escaping, Daedalos desperately tries to find happiness in Athens. His weapons and inventions make him rich and famous; but he murders his teenage apprentice and flees to Crete, things go from bad to worse .
The Mazemaker is a blood-soaked epic filled with murders and Minotaurs - man 's first flight and a king boiled alive in his bath. Reuniting Ancient Greek story strands that haven't been told together for the last two thousand years, the show mixes powerful storytelling with soaring, swooping live music and wild digitally-generated projection images.

"All the characters are portrayed by these two performers, aided only by
beautiful masks, sometimes worn, sometimes held on the hand. Dancer, Bolar,
easefully becomes and convinces as Ice Queen, snake, bird - nothing seems
beyond her reach. To see exactly how riveting economy can be watch these
performers create a rat just with their hand - and then talk with it."
