Following its London run, NMT Automatics presents, Long After The Labyrinth: an epic new play inspired by the Minotaur and the true tale of the lost Jews of Crete.
Crete 1944. A young girl hides in an olive tree, watching helplessly, as her family are rounded up and loaded onto trucks. A horned shadow looms and she finds herself falling…
This epic new play is inspired by the Minotaur and the true tale of the lost Jews of Crete. A gripping narrative told via text, movement and shadow-play, we follow the life of Rena Depas on her labyrinthine quest to find peace in the wake of violence.
For this production, NMT Automatics have brought together a team of creatives, who have worked with some of the most internationally renowned contemporary theatre companies, including: 1927, Gecko, Theatre Re, Ephemeral Ensemble, and Les Enfants Terribles.

Produced by NMT Automatics, Chromolume, and the Ancient Peace Studies Network.
Supported by Arts Council England, The Society for Classical Studies, St Andrews University, East London & Essex Liberal Synagogue, JW3, and Etz Hayyim Synagogue, Crete.
