The BacchaeThe Bacchae
Brave New Looks
Directed by Andreas Apergis
New Translation by Andreas Apergis & Joseph Shragge
Original Music by Brian Lipson
Musical Direction by David Oppenheim

First performed in 405 BC, The Bacchae is Euripides’ last play and greatest accomplishment. Scapegoat Carnivale’s adaptation/translation of the classic Greek tragedy is set during the Second Great Awakening, an ecstatic religious revival that took place in a field in Cane Ridge, Kentucky in 1801. For six days, awe-struck locals witnessed over twenty-five thousand converts falling over, barking, singing, and making love. The revival’s legacy was the formation of many North American Christian denominations (Mormons, Baptists, Shakers, and Pentecostals) prevalent in Canada and the US. Translated from the Greek by Andreas Apergis and Joseph Shragge, who also translated Medea.
