About

Ascension is a bold new show inspired by the story of King Lear and the world of Succession. Set within a high‑stakes business empire, the show dives into ambition, greed, and the brutal dynamics of a family company falling apart.

Featuring iconic 00s indie/rock anthems performed by a live band, Ascension weaves together scenes, explosive dance sequences, cinematic music videos, and an exhibition of original artwork to tell this compelling story. The result is a visually striking and memorable exploration of legacy, loyalty, and the cost of climbing too high. This is not one to miss!
