Blazon’s Icons, written by Paula B Stanic, is presented by Heads Up Festival as part of Women of the World (WOW) Festival, Hull
“This is our story.
It’s not about them.
It’s not about then.
It’s about what we do now.”
The world has changed. The future is uncertain and nothing has been learned from the past. Grown out of the chaos is a tribe led by four warrior sisters. Displaced through war, the tribe settle where they can – until outsiders interfere. How will they carve out their own stories before they are twisted by the words of others? How does the tribe survive when each of the sisters meets her greatest challenge yet?
A bold modern re-telling of the Amazon warrior myths, ICONS pieces these fractured stories together to re-build an extraordinary timeless world of sisters, survivors and strength.
