How are Gods Born?
Join us at the Wesleyan Memorial Chapel for an enchanting event filled with music, dance, and captivating mythtelling, as we tell tales of imaginative conceptions and weird and wonderful births in ancient Greek, Norse, and Christian sources.
This unique and beautiful program pairs ancient stories of Athena, Aphrodite, Loki, and Mary with soaring music and graceful choreography. As we journey from tales of shapeshifting to male pregnancy and divine speech, we explore how the stories of how we are born shapes who we are. Immerse yourself in a world of melody, myth, and movement, as we bring ancient tales to life in an evening that will be both silly and soul-warming.
Progam includes the complete Bach Magnificat(with chorus and orchestra), choral music by Palestrina and Whitacre, storytelling by Wesleyan faculty and artists, and extraordinary choreography from the Sonia Plumb Dance company.
Admission is FREE.
Presented by the Mnemosyne Arts Collective, with support from the Wesleyan Department of Classical Studies and the Wesleyan Departments of Theater and Studio Art.
