Description A post-punk cabaret disruption incorporating Heiner Müller's 'Heracles 5' .Heracles, hero of antiquity, hero of heroes, the hero for our time. As our adoration reaches the stars, can the hero deliver what we ask of him? A contemporary disruption of the Greek myth of Heracles, Heracles High 5 dives headlong into the apathy and idolisation of the modern Australian hero culture. In a romp of militaristic proportions, the 2010 incarnation of Heracles, accompanied by a post-punk three-piece band and moderated by a variety emcee, hauls us through his sins, labours and salvation.
