Beeston Tales - A Dance with the Minotaur's Sister

About this event

A King breaks a promise
A Queen takes passion in hand
A Prince becomes a feared prisoner
And a Princess dances and pulses with life.

Join storyteller Steph Brittain as she follows Ariadne’s journey as it unravels through the maze of love, betrayal, loss, joy and the bulls and the bees. Before the thread and before the tangled and twisted maze, there was Ariadne full of life and rhythm. From a dance floor in the forest and the labyrinth's twisting and tangled passages to the starry skies of the Island of Naxos, Steph Brittain weaves an intricate tapestry of love, strength and courage.

A Dance with the Minotaur’s Sister is a retelling of an ancient Greek myth through the eyes of Ariadne and her Brother the Minotaur. A story of a bull, a boy, his Sister and what happens when a hero leaves.

Content Warning: This performance contains sexual references contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative, archetype and metaphor.

Also featuring music, tales from your hosts, fun and frolics!
