"How far would you go for the one you love?"
REVELATIONS lifts the lid on a secret world of lust, lies and loss.
Heaven and Earth collide as maurading angels feed on the secrets and guilt of an unassuming couple. Ravenous for retribution, they manipulate bodies, hearts and minds to create a world in which punishment is pain, pain is pleasure, and pleasure becomes the gteatest punishment of them all.
Conceived and directed by Liam Steel. Combining acerbic text by Nigel Charnock, stunning design and daredevel aerial choreography; performers risk life, limb and soul to expose the darkest heart of our hidden desire.
