True heroWe’re not talking about having strongmuscles or being better than others, rather,creating real, true heroes that can go outinto our world and make it better.

First steps to a heroPhiloctetes, the Satyr hero traineradapted from Greek mythology(pictured right) takes Hercules andthe boys and girls on a journey,showing clearly and having themliterally stand tall and experiencewhat it takes to start being a hero –today.

Touring since 2007One of our newer shows, Hercules isguaranteed to feel modern, fresh andrelevant.

Bolt of energyMore than any other show, this is theone that feels most like a ‘bolt ofenergy’ as one teacher in Sydney calledit. The energy created by having yourwhole school charged withempowering thoughts about how to bea hero has positive repercussionsspreading far into the past, present andfuture.

Hercules has a great theme, and includes everything that children and grown ups love aboutour shows! The story deals with the isolation Hercules feels from his extra strength, whichhelps children gain some compassion and connection with how many young people feeltoday. 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 – thatstrength of heart is far more important. A special sequence in the show allows the audienceto connect in with their inner hero and is great for helping children to step up into beingmore confident and certain they can accomplish their life’s purpose. And it’s just a wholelotta fun for the whole family!

It is incredibly popular with all ages, and especially useful at getting the boys pumped andready to step up, take action and be a true hero in their everyday life, as well as the girls tofind their inner beauty and the gifts they have to give to the world. You’ve never seenanything like this, when an entire audience scream “YES” and make the sounds of a truehero, as they anchor in that emotional state for use every day of their lives.

About the Show

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 forhelping children (and grown ups!) to step up into being more confident and to be a truehero. A big emphasis in this show is the need for forgiveness, both of yourself andothers. 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 blockedfrom childhood.

Once this is released, you are able to receive love and forgive truly. At that point, you canbe a true hero – not someone who beats up all the bad guys, but someone who standsfor truth and love and can defeat the bad guys without having to fight. This is the mostimportant lesson Hercules learns at the end of the show – to stand tall and say no tofighting. What we resist persists, and this show very clearly illustrates this fact withoutbeing preachy.
