The Bacchae
The Bacchae
An outcast god. A powerless king. A mother who kills her only son. 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. **** (Herald). **** (Times).
'Heart-shuddering' (Exeunt, on Achilles).
