Dionysia Dinoysia retells the myth of Thyestes and Atreus, exposing the social and sexual politics of the late fifth century BC, an unstable time when law and natural order often reversed. The satyrs invade with their full-blown physical expression of the bestial qualities inherent in contemporary life, channeling forgotten rites and revealing a world both barbaric and beautiful.

Dionysia Dionysia was commissioned by The Getty Villa Theater LAB and EMPAC with additional support by University of California Los Angeles, Center for Cultural Innovation ARC Program and private doners.
