A daring new retelling of the Medusa story
Ophis, a mesmerizing and immersive theatrical experience that reimagines the myth of Medusa, will take place on select dates in Toronto this April. This bold reimagining blends seductive fantasy with a powerful score by award-winning Canadian composer Owen Belton.
Guests will experience a daring new retelling of the Medusa story. Medusa is reimagined not as a victim of a curse but as a symbol of empowerment and resilience. Ophis will take audiences on an emotional journey through love, vulnerability, and self-discovery while exploring themes of power, transformation, and sexuality. This production challenges traditional narratives with a modern twist and invites viewers to confront the complexities of identity and power dynamics.
