The Snake Head Project at Sandrell Rivers Theater

The Snake Head Project, a comedic reimagining of the Medusa myth, flips the familiar legend on its head. Long believed slain by Perseus, Medusa has in fact survived—living through the centuries and reemerging in the present day as a healer for women grappling with the aftermath of sexual violence. With wit, irreverence, and interactive theatrical flair, the play brings gods, mortals, and audiences into a sharp collision between ancient myth and contemporary reality. Beneath humor and bold storytelling lies a deeper exploration of power and survival, asking: who controls the stories we inherit? What happens when the “monster” finally speaks for herself?
