Description
Hailed as one of the finest of the Greek tragedies, The Bacchae by Euripides is a retelling of an ancient Greek myth of the god Dionysus.
Working from the original ancient myth and with Euripides text, Ewan has written an entirely new play for the 21st century, weaving together expert storytelling, ritual dance, and songs in ancient Greek. This story is a ritual retelling: a story about the parts of ourselves we’ve turned our backs on or have lost along the way, and what happens when we let them out.
An invocation, a celebration, a sacrifice.
