THE GODDESS TRILOGY

An Epic Storytelling event arrives in York. Let performance storyteller Xanthe Gresham guide your through the wild, strange and exotic worlds of three supernatural characters: Aphrodite, Isis, and Hecate. The Trilogy will be performed on one day in York, and is divided into three parts, each telling their own unique tale:

APHRODITE AND THE REAL RED SHOES
Ransacking literature and mythology from the Stone Age to Hans Christian Anderson, from Ancient Greece to Soho, Aphrodite is summoned. Six foot, perfumed with ambrosial oil, a perfect snake tattooed between her shoulder blades, she presents her gift – The Real Red Shoes.

ISIS IS-YOU-SIS
If you've ever done online dating, burnt relics of a recent love or generally lost your golden lotus, then Isis Is You, Sis!

HECATE TANGO
How do you cure an addiction to sex? Tango? Travel? How do you crack your soul's pin code? Hecate has the answers. She was chucked off Mount Olympus for refusing to hail Zeus as the one and only. Now she sits in outer space doing cosmic sudoku on our behalf.

Using performance storytelling, poetry and mythology the energy of the great goddess of blackness and beginnings is brought back onto the dance floor.

'Brilliant, beyond the remit of storytelling!'
