Delving into fairy tales and folklore to explore the wild feral, forbidden, feminine

Help us come ashore, there's no need to fear, we won't eat you, my dear, eat you, eat you, eat you...

In Warsaw, two mermaids, Golden and Silver, are drawn to the land and all its sinful pleasures. Whilst Silver looks for love in all the wrong places, Golden sets off on a murderous rampage punctuated by incredible musical numbers, eviscerations and sexual experimentation.

Coalescing the elements of horror, comedy, romance, musical, fantasy and coming-of-age drama into an abstract and ambitious take on the Hans Christian Andersen tale, The Lure invites you to take a dive at the deep end.
