THESE ARE THE MEN

ROLE

Artistic Collaborator
​Performer ("Pythia")
ABOUT THE PROJECT

A reimagining of the Oedipus mythology, These Are The Men examines love, hope and beauty hidden in the darkness of one of ancient Greece’s greatest tragedies. Through the many relationships of Jocasta, we explore the intersection of time, fate, and freewill through Jocasta’s eyes. Soundscapes and movement combine with text to ask: Is ignorance of the past (and future) truly bliss?

PRESS

"I highly recommend this new play. It is poignant, with a surprising number of lighthearted moments for such a tragic tale."
- Aisle Say Twin Cities

"These Are The Men has no easy answers. It almost demands you continue to juggle both sides of every question. It’s an intriguing way to reinvigorate a centuries old story."
- Twin Cities Daily Planet
