Do Not Look Away: The Story of Medusa

Past event at Scottish Storytelling Centre

Mon 12 Aug

Entry from £12

Look closer at the story of Medusa... Most are familiar with the image of a monster with snakes for hair and a gaze that turns men to stone. But how did Medusa come to be? And what of the hero who slayed her? Drawing from Greek and Roman mythology, feminist theory and art history, storyteller Lily Asch paints a complex and evocative picture of this famous figure, exploring the parallels between this ancient story and the modern world. A moving storytelling performance with live musical accompaniment from Dimitris Kounatiadis.
