A multimedia performance of Euripides’ Bacchae, Max Smith-Holmes and Anna Lublina directed a silly satire centered around exorbitant sexuality, Google search engines, cupcakes, whipped cream, live DJs, and the startling “art-ness” of a blank white cube (i.e. a squash court.) “Based on Euripides’ Bacchae, this no-holds-barred wet-n-wild Grecian tragedy follows the slips and slides of Olympia’s bad-boy, Dionysus. Popping into Thebes to avenge his disgraced momma, Dionysus bewitches the towns’ ladies and sends them in high spirits, fun romping through diegetic space in the collective cheer. Dionysus leaves the king (his cousin!), blushed and abashed from his Baccanalian magic jets. The sad truth that Dionysus  ultimately convinces the clueless monarch to abandon his manhood.. and finally his life.”
