Medusa - Story and Workshop

Living on the margins of society. Transformations. Power and Powerlessnes. A beautiful woman, taken in a temple by Poseidon, punished by Athena for the sacriledge. Anyone who looked directly at her was immediately turned to stone.  The one who was gazed at by men, suddenly became invisible. Medusa was punished for something that was done to her by someone of great power.

WATCH THE TRAILER

"Myths may be the home of the miraculous, but they are also mirrors of us. Which version of a story we choose to tell, which characters we place in the foreground, which ones we allow to fade into the shadows: these reflect both the teller and the reader, as much as they show the characters of the myth. We have made space in our storytelling to rediscover women who have been lost or forgotten. They are not villains, victims, wives and monsters: they are people.” ― Natalie Haynes
