The war for Troy has ended, and Troy’s women face a bleak future. Led by their Queen, Hecuba, they await their fate amidst the ruins. But not passively. In moments of vulnerability there is strength. As ghosts of the war pass before their eyes, they reclaim the joys of their past and arm themselves for an uncertain future. And in Hecuba, mother and Queen, they have a leader who believes resistance has no boundaries. Michael Devine’s adaptation of Greek myth tells the story, through choreographed movement, chants, song and dark comedy, of women who refuse to submit.
Ghosts Are Dancing was first produced, in Serbian, as the final production of the A.N.F.I. Teatar Festival in Kraljevo, Serbia, in 2023. Director Michael Devine and the Acadia Theatre Company now present the play’s English-language première, playing at the Lower Denton Theatre from March 19-22 and 26-29 at 8pm. The show runs 60 minutes.
