Sing in us, Muse, the story of Jason and his Argonauts, how he was sent away on the first voyage of the world to bring back the Golden Fleece.
An epic story of heroes and monsters, of enchanted islands and vengeful gods, where danger looms at every turn --- from savage kings and sea beasts to a capricious sorceress named Medea --- Mary Zimmerman’s Argonautika explores themes of heroism, love, and loss in a modern retelling of the 3rd century B.C. poem. With high-intensity movement, live music, and puppetry, this production of Argonautika brings the mythical adventure to powerful, theatrical life.
