An Evening of Bull
Share:

In the warmth of a dimly lit wine bar, the past lives again. Bottles glint like relics of forgotten gods. Behind the bar, she polishes glasses that once overflowed with prophecy. Ari runs this place now. But memory runs her…
Step into a vibrant cabaret world where the ancient myth of the Minotaur is reinterpreted through the fierce words of Ariadne and company. These new songs interlaced with compelling narrative thrust audiences into a world that marries myth with modern political discourse, while embracing the spirit of cabaret.
In this rendition, Ariadne is not just a damsel in distress; she is a dynamic force for change. Her songs carry audiences through both painful lament and hopeful calls to action. Theseus, a far from flawless hero, finds his own musical path by following the thread through this labyrinth of exciting new songs.
This genre-blending score is delivered by performers who will make you clench your fists in resistance and tap your feet impulsively. As familiar mythology takes centre stage, challenging propaganda, and the façade of power, eyebrow-raising lyrics entice audiences to question the narratives we currently accept and who truly holds the reins.
This thrilling cabaret is a fusion of myth, feminism, and political resistance—a battle cry for agency, truth, and defiance against tyranny.
Catch it quick, before it shoots up North to Edinburgh for The Fringe.
There will be a refreshment break at the end of the show, then we’d love to welcome you for a short Q&A.
