About
Led by French director and translator Philomène Cheynet, Mythography is a cross-cultural collective of emerging theatre-makers based in Edinburgh.
"A strikingly talented group of young people"
— Plays International and Europe
Mythography amplifies young voices through bold reimaginings of myths, building bridges between languages, cultures, and eras to challenge the limits of our world. Through wild rewritings and new translations, we claim these stories as ours, allowing them to rip through time and place to reach audiences here and now.
Our previous work includes our ‘Triptych of the Young Girl’, made up of Ondine (2022), Salomé (2023) and Antigone (2024/25), a three-part journey through myth in search of the dangerous and elusive figure of the young girl. All three shows played to sold out audiences during their respective Edinburgh Fringes and received exceptional critical praise.
I strive to create work that inspires wonder, provokes thought and feeling, and challenges the status quo. Work that is raw, irreverent and adventurous. I have worked with some wonderful artists along the way and cannot wait to see where we go next.
— Philomene Cheynet, Creative Director
Our Aims are
- To provide pathways into professional work and break down barriers for young and emerging creatives in the performing arts
- To offer partially funded learning opportunities for young and emerging creatives to gain industry-relevant skills outwith formal education routes
- To foster community and collaboration among emerging creatives in the Edinburgh area and bring together the next generation of Scottish theatre-makers
- To create theatre of the highest quality, promote innovation, and develop work that is “raw, irreverent, and adventurous”
- To engage audiences around bold, urgent stories that amplify marginalised voices and challenge the status quo
