Son of Hercules (2025)
In a quiet hospital room, a son stands by his dying father and begins telling their old bedtime story — the myth of Hercules. As the tale unfolds, one performer transforms between three characters using only voice, movement, and three expressive handmade masks: the larger-than-life hero, his starry-eyed son, and his forgotten wife.
Rather than celebrating Hercules’ legendary feats, this intimate 45-minute solo mask theatre piece reveals the messy, human cost of greatness. Blending sharp humour with profound heartache, Son of Hercules asks what we owe our parents — and how we say goodbye to family.
Created and performed by Angus Temrak, co-created with Italian director Francesco Procopio. Masks by French artist Solène Maureau.
Past Performese: Theater Expedition Metropolis Berlin 2025, Funhaus Factory Australia 2026, Sydney Fringe, Melboune Fringe.

The Oedpus I see(2025)
After Angus travels to Europe and studied mask theatre he was so inspired that he returned back to Australia with a show he created himself.
A storyteller weaves the ancient myth of Oedipus—cursed by fate to slay his father and marry his mother—while reflecting on his own strained relationship with his father. This introspective narrative draws powerful parallels between the timeless legend and modern family struggles. Through this lens, Oedipus’s journey becomes a mirror for the storyteller’s exploration of self-discovery, regret, and the cyclical nature of generational pain. Blending myth with contemporary resonance, the play illuminates enduring themes of destiny, identity, and the inescapable consequences of human actions, offering audiences a profound and thought-provoking theatrical experience.
Past Performed: Sydney Acting Studio, 2024
