They have tasted pleasure and will defend it at any cost! Pentheus wants to stop the women - these wives, these lovers and mothers who have left their homes to revel with the god of dance and wine. He disguises himself as a woman and tries to repress their desires at any cost...The Bacchae tells of curiosity and control, invasion and rage. A beat driven score duels the ecstatic ryhythms of the Bacchae's chanting, as Dionysis wreaks a terrible test on the citizens of Thebes. Do we believe in the Gods? And what does it cost us if we don't?
