Bacchanalia

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

A story of revenge, politics and seduction - witness first-hand the clash between mortals and the divine. Take a trip to the city of Thebes, where King Pentheus believes he has everything under control - that is until his divine cousin Dionysus turns up seeking revenge on the family who have expressed doubt about this upstart god's status. Witness first-hand the clash between mortals and the divine. You will ask yourself ... Do you deny a god? An intense, reimagining of Euripides' The Bacchae in a 1960s hypnotic setting. 36 audience members mingle with 7 performers in a free-roam immersive show in an underground crypt.
