Fairytales for Grown-Ups: A Dance with the Minotaur’s Sister

The Crick Crack Club presents A Dance with the Minotaur’s Sister - performance storytelling by Steph Brittain

A King breaks a promise. A Queen takes passion in hand. A Prince becomes a feared prisoner. And Ariadne dances.

Storyteller, Steph Brittain unravels a web of love, loss, betrayal, and bees - tracing the footsteps of Ariadne to a place before the maze and before the thread.

From a forest dance floor to the labyrinth’s dark passages, and beneath the starry skies of Naxos, A Dance with the Minotaur’s Sister weaves an intricate tapestry of strength, courage, and desire - a story as old as myth, told with the living pulse of now.

Tipping ancient Greek mythology into a new perspective, this is a story of a bull, a boy, his sister, a labyrinth and what happens when the hero leaves.

Ariadne is waiting - pulsing with joy and fire. Join the dance.

Running time: Approx 70 minutes without interval

Suitable for adults 16+

Content: This performance contains references to sex, threat and violence, contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative, archetype and metaphor
