Incarcerating Eve
Eve has been around since the dawn of humanity, the turn of the century, and since last week. Eve is every woman; she is indigenous; she is a pregnant teenage girl, a domestic abuse survivor. She is a witch, hysterical, insane. She is evil, and she is responsible for humanity's fall from grace.
Powerful and provocative, Mandala's new play exposes the lies societies have been fed by organised religion and politics, exploring who controls the narrative and what truth got buried along the way.
Through their unique brand of theatricality, humour, innovative staging, compelling characters and powerful epic storytelling, Mandala tell the story of Eve....Accused, suppressed, abused, silenced, but now rising, waking up to her full power as creator, nurturer, wisdom-keeper - restoring the balance between Masculine and Feminine energy, to ultimately suggest new vision and hope.
