Arachne presents a unique blend of Greek mythology and contemporary themes in a solo show that explores the intricate relationship between Athena, the Goddess of Justice, and her former best friend, Arachne. Written by Britt Anderson and directed by Alex Mallory, the performance dives into issues of justice, accountability, and the complexities of women's friendships. With music, multiple characters, and audience interaction, Arachne reveals the backstory that shapes these iconic figures amidst a whimsical narrative. This production is part of the Full Circle Festival at the Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble.
