The Mask of Medusa

The Mask of Medusa is a short play that will fuse traditional Greek theatre techniques with modern movement and mask work that explores a contemporary telling of the Medusa myth. The piece follows Medusa as a young maiden in a modern context and plays with the idea of the tragic hero exploring Medusa's grotesque transformation from picture-perfect girl into tragic, gorgon monster. Text, movement, song, and visual art coordinate to convey the story and the emotions.
