Galatea is a rock musical adaptation of Ovid’s classic myth Pygmalion, which tells the chilling tale of an obsessed sculptor whose statue comes to life.
Straddling this world and another, Galatea exists in a liminal place of human and god, woman and monster, child and mother.
This new work—flanked by a live band—features an original rock score drawing on 'Tommy' by The Who and 'Hedwig and The Angry Inch.'
Surfacing a complex dialogue around race, gender, sexual violence, Galatea asks what it means to make and control your art.
(Believe it or not, the show is also funny as hell.)
