Cyclops

A masculine, raw, violent world of killing and man-eating, where justice is tantamount to the survival of the fittest. In the land of the Cyclops, the Outsider is neither sheltered nor safe. Rather, s/he is exploited or devoured. There, one can either be good or bad; frightened and desperate or merciless and cruel. Euripides’ characters are frivolous, sly, opportunistic, decadent, and savage. They are ridiculed and ridicule others in return. They are crushed and seek to crush others. This purely masculine world is explored through the lens of femininity: through the female body, psychology, and expression. An all-female production which seeks to redress the balance between the serious and the ludicrous, between the genres of splatter horror and comedy.
