I / The series

Escape is only the beginning.

When Pemba escapes a masked institution hidden in the Himalayas, his first encounter with the outside world draws him into a wider conspiracy. The freedom he has fought for may be another form of control.

Adapted from Tim Curry’s published book, Allegory brings a distinctive masked world to television. It is being developed for audiences drawn to psychological thrillers, speculative fiction and international suspense.

ALLEGORY

Episode 1 / The Escape

Pemba breaks the conditioning of the monolith and is thrust into the mountain wilderness. An encounter with Aria opens the door to a world he has never known.

ALLEGORY

Episode 2 / The Illusion

Pemba’s awakening unfolds alongside a second timeline. As the conspiracy reaches beyond the monolith, the people guiding him become harder to trust.

II / The world

A world built around the mask.

Bronze-look masks, dark leather and distressed hoods establish the series’ visual direction. The masked institution conceals identity and shapes the characters’ relationship with freedom and control.

Practical masks and costumes are part of the production’s design development.
