  1. True hero We’re not talking about having strong muscles or being better than others, rather, creating real, true heroes that can go out into our world and make it better. Touring since 2007 One of our newer shows, Hercules is guaranteed to feel modern, fresh and relevant. Bolt of energy More than any other show, this is the one that feels most like a ‘bolt of energy’ as one teacher in Sydney called it. The energy created by having your whole school empowering thoughts about how to be a hero has positive spreading far into the past, present and future. First steps to a hero Philoctetes, the Satyr hero trainer adapted from Greek (pictured right) takes Hercules and the boys and girls on a journey, showing clearly and having them literally stand tall and experience what it takes to start being a hero – today. mythology charged with repercussions

  2. About the Show Hercules has a great theme, and includes everything that children and grown ups love about our shows! The story deals with the isolation Hercules feels from his extra strength, which helps children gain some compassion and connection with how many young people feel today. It follows Hercules quest to become a hero, and to rejoin his father Zeus in Olympus. Whilst coming head to head with the nasty Hades, Hercules learns the best lesson – that strength of heart is far more important. A special sequence in the show allows the audience to connect in with their inner hero and is great for helping children to step up into being more confident and certain they can accomplish their life’s purpose. And it’s just a whole lotta fun for the whole family! It is incredibly popular with all ages, and especially useful at getting the boys pumped and ready to step up, take action and be a true hero in their everyday life, as well as the girls to find their inner beauty and the gifts they have to give to the world. You’ve never seen anything like this, when an entire audience scream “YES” and make the sounds of a true hero, as they anchor in that emotional state for use every day of their lives.

  3. Values Theme: THE HERO WITHIN US ALL & FORGIVENESS Outcome: To bring an understanding of what it takes to be a true hero in today’s world. Information: Alpha’s Hercules allows the audience to connect in with their inner hero and is great for helping children (and grown ups!) to step up into being more confident and to be a true hero. A big emphasis in this show is the need for forgiveness, both of yourself and others. It also highlights how the events from our early childhood can lead to similar ‘triggering’ events in later life, highlighting the need to process the emotions blocked from childhood. Once this is released, you are able to receive love and forgive truly. At that point, you can be a true hero – not someone who beats up all the bad guys, but someone who stands for truth and love and can defeat the bad guys without having to fight. This is the most important lesson Hercules learns at the end of the show – to stand tall and say no to fighting. What we resist persists, and this show very clearly illustrates this fact without being preachy.
