Scapegoat Carnivale Theatre returns to Centaur Theatre's Brave New Looks for the third time after winning the MECCA award for Best Production with Medea.
First performed in 405 BC after his death in exile, The Bacchae is Euripides' last play and greatest accomplishment. Dionysus, the god of wine, returns to Thebes to take revenge on the young law-and-order king Pentheus, who has refused the god's divinity, imprisoning anyone who practices his orgiastic rituals. What follows is a psycho-sexual, metaphysical game of cat and mouse, where hunter and prey are inverted on the way to tragedy. <div style='padding:5px;border:solid rgb(200,200,200) 0px;text-align:center;width:90%'></div><div style='padding:5px;border:solid rgb(200,200,200) 0px;text-align:center;width:90%'></div> Design elements of Scapegoat Carnivale's adaptation are inspired by early 19th century American revivalism, a period of new religion and ecstatic worship, whose legacy still remains in North America. www.scapegoatcarnivaletheatre.com...Le Sam. 13 octobre 2012 @ Théâtre Centaur The Bacchae
