NINE MUSES
In co-production with the Mérida Classical Theatre Festival

SYNOPSIS


Muses, female deities who preside over the arts and sciences and inspire philosophers and poets. Nine muses, born from nine consecutive nights of love between Zeus and Mnemosyne. The muses, granddaughters of Uranus, the Sky, and Gaia, the Earth, will be the protagonists of our parade.


Live music, dancers, actresses, and acrobats will embody these Goddesses of Truth, created to bring about the forgetting of evils and the end of sorrows. They symbolize the memory that knows no boundaries of space or time. They will tell us many lies that appear to be truths, and they will also proclaim the Truth itself. They, the soul of the Olympian Kingdom, presiding over every manifestation of intelligence, will reveal to us all that is, all that was, and all that will be.
