Medusa presented by Vox Medusa & Infiammati FireCircus
Playing October 6 - 9, 2017
MEDUSA is back October 6th-8th! MEDUSA (recently presented as a site specific production in the 2017 MN Fringe Festival) is a fiercely provocative and visually stunning outdoor production set along the bank of Boom Island Park under the beautiful Minneapolis skyline at sunset. Medusa's full story is scarcely known beyond her vilified ending as a monster and destroyer of men. Vox Medusa dance company and Infiammati FireCircus join forces to honor the powerful myth of Medusa's transformation from Athena's loving and devoted priestess to demonized gorgon. Infiammati spins fire to bring to life Medusa's emotional state and the destruction of her innocence, w...hile Vox Medusa unfolds her tale of sorrow and redemption. This poignant story is retold by passionate artists collaborating through contemporary dance, fire performance, a video projected set, and an original electronic music score accompanied by live vocalists.
*For this outdoor spectacle at sunset, audiences are welcome to bring blankets or collapsible chairs for seating if desired.
**Tickets: $15 can be purchased 30min before each show at Boom Island Park.
