In a barren world at humanity's end, a man dares to steal fire and bring life to the dead—only to create something he cannot control. Inspired by Mary Shelley’s classic, this bold reimagining trades candlelit laboratories for storm-ravaged wastelands, where rhythm, ritual, and elemental force breathe life into a new Creature. A visually raw and immersive meditation on grief, hubris, and what it means to remake ourselves when the world has collapsed, Synetic's Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus is a myth forged in real time. Both intimate and epic, it asks not only what it means to create life, but what kind of life is worth creating. PLEASE NOTE -- this is a new work, and as such, is in active development until it opens. Runtime is estimated at 95 minutes, but may vary, as new works aren't locked until they open!
