                                Synopsis
                                TODAY
                                With only the shirts on their backs, the people of Kaikia must evacuate their home on Mt
                                Boreas and make the treacherous journey across hostile land to Mt Anemoi. Among them
                                walks a secret – a saint – someone could change everything.

                                400 YEARS AGO
                                Nephele’s maiden voyage as Kaikia’s newly deified mountain saint does not go according to
                                plan.
                                She must find a way to make it home, before the people of the land discover she’s alive…

                                “What happens when a story is forgotten?”
                                Are you ready?
                                Close your eyes...

                                Featuring a story within a story structure, Almost Forgotten offers a group and an
                                imaginative director the opportunity to explore a beautifully realised mythical world,
                                through storytelling and ensemble work.
