Pathway To The Red Sun

Pathway to the Red Sun

A love story at the end of the world.

Inspired by madame butterfly and set in a futuristic landscape Pathway to the Red Sun draws influences from Japanese ghost stories, myth and legend and Guillermo Del Toro's Pan's Labarynth.

Rogue Theatre tells the story of a samurai’s daughter who falls in love with a hero. In a world where birds have forgotten how to fly, where honey is a precious commodity and people train to fight off salesmen.

With poetry and text by Anna Maria Murphy (BBC Radio 4, National Theatre, Kneehigh, Wonder Show), original live music, humour, acrobatics and a highly visual style; Rogue Theatre mixes circus spectacle, the passion of opera and the tension of Japanese horror to create a vivid and dream like production – a love story at the end of the world.

Review by Shiela Vanloo of The West Briton

Keay Theatre, St. Austell, Cornwall

“THE long awaited fourth production from Rogue Theatre played to a packed Keay Theatre last week.
Written by Anna Maria Murphy, this incredible piece of work draws strongly from the dark side – a splendidly Gothic drama.
Set in futuristic Japan at a time of war, holocaust and madness, Pathway is both terrifying and beautiful. A tale of death and murder with a heartbreaking love story weaving its way into the hearts of the spellbound audience.

Rogue’s productions are a feast for all the senses and Pathway raises their personal bar even higher.
New musical director, 20-year-old Andrew Bate, has created a fabulous soundtrack for Pathway; becoming an integral part of the show by performing live on stage as the story unfolds.

A wonderful piece of theatre, Pathway to the Red Sun continues its nationwide tour.
