The ancient Greek myth of the sun god Helios and his son Phaeton, retold by Alexander Wright with Phil Grainger's music, at sunset on the studio floor on 30 November 2024. Sixteen shows in six Indian cities, and this was the Calcutta one.

"It was magic to tell our Helios story at dawn and at dusk, to be met so far from home by such warm and generous people," Wright said after the show. t2 came, and left "with a tear or two in our eye and a bright spot of fire burning in our chest."
