An intergalactic rock musical that reaches beyond the stars.

The world is on fire, and humans are about to colonize space. Commercial companies are eager to be the first to go there, because in addition to exploring, there is also room to exploit. To what extent are there plans for this already on the table? And what does the legislation say about this?

Some time after NASA's Apollo and Artemis programs, three astronauts embark on a new mission to Mars. However, the mission is thrown into doubt when one of the astronauts questions the undertaking and its motivations. Are the missions as noble as their Greek names make them sound?

Beyond the Gods is a story in which Greek mythology and space travel come together. In a tragicomic way, space colonization, legislation and mining are sung about and expressed in music, and colonial thinking and noble Greek mythology are questioned.
A performance in which man plays God, in a world that continually strives for more, higher, further.
