Event

Bacchanalia

The Quasimondo, Milwaukee Physical Theatre, invites you to partake in the revelry of the divine festival honoring the Roman God Bacchus, the enigmatic god of wine, fertility and ecstasy.

Generous use of dance, live music, poetry, cuisine and libations will envelope audiences in the sensuality and pleasure of this primal, mystical festival. Ancient ritual, myth, philosophy and the origins of theatre are explored through the work of local choreographers and musicians.

The gods will rumble on Mount Olympus, Socrates will be executed, the Cyclops will be blinded, satyrs will dance, and Medusa will wriggle. This exciting and cathartic Quasimondo original has something for any pallette. A banquet of appetizers will be offered as an opportunity to indulge in this panoply of history and culture!
