ALICE MAHER: COLLABORATION WITH JUNK ENSEMBLE FOR NEW WORK, THE MISUNDERSTANDING OF MYRRHA. AVANT PREMIERE AT MERMAID ARTS CENTRE, BRAY, CO.WICKLOW,

THURSDAY 13 FEBRUARY 2020

 

Alice Maher collaborates with Junk Ensemble for the new work The Misunderstanding of Myrrha, which reawakens the tale of Myrrha from ancient Greek mythology and Ovid.

This tale of transformation from female into hybrid form will be re-imagined so that Myrrha's story is finally told by a woman - we hear it through Myrrha's once muted voice. Presented through intricate choreography, text, music and a stunning visual design by Alice Maher, the solo dance work cycles through the tragedy of Myrrha's curse, the acceptance of her fate, and the hope that is unearthed from the trauma.
