An outcast god. A powerless king. A mother who kills her only son.
Event Description
Glasgow's acclaimed Company of Wolves present an earth-shattering solo retelling of the myth of Dionysos: an epic of rejection, vengeance and rebirth told through story, dance and ancient song.
Written and performed by Ewan Downie, The Bacchae blurs the lines between binaries: human and animal, male and female, victim and perpetrator, and takes us on a transformative journey from repression and denial to renewal and release. A hymn of rebirth for our shattered selves.
“richly, writhingly poetic ... an impressively physical performance” The Stage ★★★★
“A stripped back, lyrical retelling ... a thing of beauty” The List ★★★★
Recommended for ages 14 plus.
Running Time: 50 mins
