About Us

THE COLLECTIVE CREATION OF MYTHS

We are an Edinburgh-based collective of emerging theatre-makers eager to shape the future of Scottish theatre. We have been creating gut-punching theatre since 2021 and are committed to breaking down barriers for young and emerging artists in the performing arts.

Mythography unearth myths of the past and imagines myths of the future through wild rewritings and new translations. Rooted in the fabric of our shared humanity and the practice of adaptation, our work builds bridges between cultures, languages and eras, allowing stories rip through the fabric of time and place to reach audiences here and now.

WE MAKE ART THAT IS RAW, IRREVERENT AND ADVENTUROUS.

We perform for everyone and value ensemble work and large casts. We asks questions without answers and explore stories that will resonate and unite us in a divided world.

Each production is a chance for us to experiment with electric combinations of genres and different currents of theatrical language and style. We happily blend the sublime and the ridiculous, the tragic and the farce.

Meet The Team

Philomène Cheynet

Creative Director

I’m a multicultural and bilingual theatre-maker, director and designer based in Edinburgh. I draw from my literary background and understanding of theatre as a visual and physical medium to stage visceral reworkings of myths for contemporary audiences. My practice combines rich poetic texts, a striking visual language, and experimental movement work to reveal the raw subversive power of collective myth making.
