Do you dare to meet Medusa’s gaze? The God, the mortal, the erotic power that disables men, the fearsome image that wards off evil, the dangerous monster to be destroyed: Medusa. Now sharing her own legend, Medusa is once again a power player in this feminist retelling, arresting us in her gaze.
A multidisciplinary project devised by an international ensemble over 2 years in four countries (USA, UK, Italy and France). Medusa aesthetically and dramatically integrated design and services for audience members with disabilities into the creation process.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“It’s an arresting vision, and one that makes Medusa’s final decision – to accept her fate at Perseus’ hand – to feel as if it is made with absolute agency. As feminist retellings go, that’s a successful achievement.” – The Reviews Hub
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“A truly accessible production and an empowering contemporary perspective on the classic Greek myth.” – Theatre T
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Medusa also represents an opportunity to proactively incorporate aspects of accessibility that can often go overlooked in more institutionalized arts organizations.” – Chicago Reader
