Stromness Town Hall & The Cromarty Hall
Take in a special performance of The Bacchae in two Orkney venues this March.
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.
The Bacchae will be performed in the Stromness Town Hall on 13 March, and in the Cromarty Hall in St Margaret's Hope on 14 March. Tickets can be bought online.
