The Tears of Nerakhis

Studio Platero

The Tears of Nerakhis is an epic new fantasy musical telling the story of Calanthe, a human girl who runs away to the mythical castle of the god Nerakhis. There she meets his daughter, Alea, and their love will trigger a war between gods and shake the foundations of Creation itself. A modern myth adapted from a fantasy novel, this fully sung-through musical features a sweeping score, iconic characters and merges timeless themes of love and freedom with urgent environmental concerns. In the end, it asks one final question: why is there dew on the grass?
