Persephone's Tale
2021
Synopsis
In this irreverent reimagining of the myth, Persephone appears not as a passive maiden but as a punk-goth rebel, weary of her mother Demeter's suffocating grip. When Hades swipes right with Zeus on the gods' Tinder app, fate takes a decidedly modern turn. What follows is a wild, comedic, and heartwarming theatrical ride through the underworld.
