The Bacchae - Company of Wolves

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.
“richly, writhingly poetic... an impressively physical performance” The Stage ★★★★
“A stripped back, lyrical retelling... a thing of beauty” The List ★★★★
