Medusa: The Beheaded Lover

Based on Medusa; A site specific production performed at Shunt
Directed by Anastasia Revi

Medusa: the gorgon from Greek mythology with serpents for hair and a gaze that turned everything to stone, beheaded by Perseus for the power of her gaze. Told through the eyes of Medusa, this is a journey into the darkness, and the story behind the terrifying gaze of the serpent wigged monster. It is a woman’s story of love, of betrayal, of pain. The transformation of beauty to grotesque disfigurement, of lover to killer, of betrayal to revenge, and finally destruction and liberation.
