Superheroes, Stone/Castro’s latest contemporary theatre work, is a provocative reflection on Globalisation.

Meet six characters in a rest-home.

Isolated from the outside world, rivalries emerge as they regain their former strength and the various personalities vie for domination of their new territory.

As fiction and reality blur, they turn to saviours and heroes for hope and salvation. The fight is on to determine how best to steer humanity safely towards a new generation.

Who are the real heroes of the sky? The Gods, the Superheroes, or the fighter planes?

Since forming in 2003, Stone/Castro have written, created and toured their pieces to many Australian and European Venues and Festivals. Independently Jo Stone and Paulo Castro freelance for companies such as Les Ballet C de La B, Portuguese National Theatre, Chunky Move and the Schaubuhne- Berlin among others. Together they are recognised for forging unique humorous and corrosive contemporary theatre
