This dance theater performance is part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, a citywide celebration of innovation and creativity in contemporary performance.
The myth of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth has inspired artists, writers, and dancers ever since the days of ancient Greece, but the roots of the story— the maze, the bull, and the Goddess— predate classical Greece by more than a millennium. Mistress of the Maze explores the Bronze Age Minoan iconography from the island of Crete that inspired the later Greek legend.
The production features masks and costumes by multidisciplinary artist Sarah Carr, who also provided the choreography. Four dancers take on multiple roles to enact rituals for the lost Minoan cult of the Goddess, portraying Ariadne, the Mistress of Animals, Theseus, and the Sacred Bull.
