Synopsis
Before the serpents, before the legend, there was a woman in a world that feared her power. From ancient myth into a modern-day Rage Room, Medusa is a raw, electrifying story about female rage, power, and transformation. Through whispered voices and immersive sound delivered into audience headphones, you’re drawn directly into Medusa’s thoughts as the action unfolds live on stage.
Unflinching, immersive, and deeply theatrical, Medusa reimagines one of Greek mythology’s most iconic and feared figures in a bold & thrilling new way. It might just release your inner serpents—or turn you to stone. (soulpepper.ca)
