Modern Archaic Theatre Company: The Bacchae
​FRIDAYS-SUNDAYS
July 31- August 9, 7:00 house, 7:30 Performance
​$15-35

Summary
Fifteen years after a nuclear war destroyed life as we know it, a group of survivors restart society from one of the earliest civilizations they think to imitate: Ancient Greece. 

As the Nuclear Winter dissipates, in the midst of their slow rebuilding of a new world, an invading force called The Bacchae reveal themselves to the scrappy and unstable group, claiming to worship a new god called Dionysus. 

Soon after this cult reveals themselves, the women of this new civilization are struck with a mysterious affliction compelling them to join in the revels of The Bacchae. The remaining men are forced to make a decision: War with this new god or Embrace him. 

Pentheus, New King of Thebes, finds himself in the trap of a strange man claiming to have some connection to the god. As the young King tries to jail the crazed women and bring order, to take down Dionysus and his cohort, his own curiosity, aggression, and madness take over. ​

Summary
​Bodies and Brushstrokes will be Mandy Milligan Movement Projects first evening length dance performance. This event will include a gallery showing of visual art work from community class participants featuring figure drawings of dancers from the show.

The dance performance will include two new works; The John Singer Sargent Series and But What Am I?. The first dance work in the Bodies and Brush Strokes performance is the John Singer Sargent Series which includes dance inspired by the namesake's works “Lady Agnew of Locnaw,” “El Jaleo,” “Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth,” and “Madame X.”

The second piece, “But What Am I?” is a multimedia work that combines dance with film, projection, spoken word, illustration, and drag; where performers bounce back and forth between stage and screen as six queer individuals take a journey from isolation to self-discovery.
