After murdering his brother in cold blood, we meet Cain, exiled from his homeland, followed by his memories, and haunted by figures from the past. Cain must now retrace his steps back to Eden in pursuit of redemption. Origins is a stage thriller that steps deep into the heart of darkness, where movement, sound and rhythm combine to create a physically pulsating story of love, loss and brotherhood.
