IN THE HOUSE OF THE SUN - Theatre Review
WHAT: In The House Of The Sun WHEN: 18 - 22 October 2022 WHERE: Queen Victoria Women's Centre WRITTEN & PERFORMED BY: Rebecca Perich DIRECTED BY: Margaret Mills CHOREOGRAPHED BY: Jessica MacCallum Cruz Rebecca Perich I thought I knew a lot about Greek mythology. I have read both the Illiad and the Odyssey . I have read or seen most of the major Ancient Greek plays still trotting around the globe. I studied Antigone and have written Athena . I know how choruses and masks work. I am an educated woman with a solid grounding in the literary classics. Or so I thought. Watching In The House Of The Sun last night I came to realise I know nothing. I know the words on all the pieces of paper but as is true of all Western history, I only know the stories as told by men. Inspired by Jennifer Saint's Ariadne , Rebecca Perich has decided to present a dance theatre ( tanztheatre ) experience of what life would have been like for Ariadne and all that she witnessed and experienced.
