FEATHERED is a musical retelling of the myth of Icarus that explores fate, flight, love, and courage.
Trapped in a tower alongside his father, Daedalus, Icarus longs for freedom beyond the walls of his prison. But Daedalus, scarred by the past, warns his son never to flu and risk the wrath of fate.
Yet Icarus has formed an unlikely friendship with Apollo, the god of the sun, and together they dream of escaping the tower and taking to the skies.
As their plan unfolds, the myths of the past begin to echo around them. The stories of Phaethon and Helle serve as haunting warnings: to fly too high or too low is fatal.
When these myths spiral toward tragedy once again, Icarus must confront his own doubt and decide whether he will follow the path of myth or break the cycle and fly.

ICARUS — A young, bright, fiercely hopeful boy whose dreams outgrow the walls around him. Earnest, imaginative, and heartbreakingly naïve. Son of Daedalus.
APOLLO — God of the light, of music, of civilization, and of prophecy. Young in appearance, ancient in experience. Tender and radiant, yet haunted by the mortals he could not save.
DAEDALUS — A brilliant but grief-shattered architect. Once the master who built the Labyrinth; now a prisoner of his own despair. Icarus’s father, controlling out of fear, loving out of panic, hurting out of history.
NEPHELE — The oldest wind. Dry, sharp, knowing. Mother of Helle. Cynical of dreamers; wary of flight.
KLYMENE — The youngest wind. Bright, teasing, hopeful. Mother of Phaethon. A mirror to Apollo’s fire.
NAIARA — The wind of memory. Icarus’s mother, Daedalus’s late wife. A presence more than a person: loving, watching, powerless, and quietly condemning.
PHRIXIA — A bold, restless young woman with a heart full of defiance and tenderness. Protective of Helle, reckless with herself.
HELLE — Sensitive, thoughtful, anxious. A poet at heart who wants to love quietly in a world that wants her to fear loudly.
PHAETHON — A bright, fragile boy who desperately wants to touch the sky. A parallel to Icarus; the echo of a myth repeating itself.
HELIOS — Phaethon’s haughty father. An epithet of Apollo.
ENSEMBLE — Additional company members who aid the tale through movement, voice, and occasionally puppetry.
Please prepare a 1-2 minute monologue and a 32-bar cut (with an accompaniment track.)
