An icon. An orgy. A dissenter.
Caught between heaven and earth, a demi-god falls from grace.
Bacchic is a provocative, challenging and thought provoking
update of Euripides’ classic Greek tragedy, The Bacchae.
Using stunning aerial theatre, storytelling, music and
movement, this is a provocative look behind the mask of the
guru to question our faith in heroes.
The intelligent and seamless combination of circus and
theatre is genuinely innovative and is at times playful, ironic,
symbolic and poetic.
This dynamic show features an exciting mix of acclaimed collaborators including Matilda Leyser (Line Point Plane), Lucinka Eisler (Hysteria, Total Theatre Award Winner 2006) and Jonathan Young (The Garden, Total Theatre Award Nominee 2006).
“A superb performance, bringing the text to vivid
contemporary life. I urge you to see it.”
