The Argonauts

In June 2019, a group of disabled and non-disabled performers from the South Caucasus and Ukraine started rehearsals for a show that would become The Argonauts (2019). The project was the culmination of a 4 years cultural programme, 'Unlimited: Making the Right Moves', organised by Candoco Dance Company and commissioned by the British Council.

The Argonauts was created by Ben Duke from Lost Dog and Jemima Hoadley and Welly O'Brien from Candoco Dance Company.

It premiered in Tbilisi, and then toured the South Caucasus.

The Argonauts was going to come to London's Southbank Centre and be part of LIFT 2020.

It didn't happen.

This film is not the show. Instead, it is a glimpse of the Argonauts in their home countries and a way of marking what should have been. It was going to be unforgettable.

Thank you to all involved.
