Half man and half horse, the wild and badly behaved satyrs were legendary companions of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and theater.
Dionysia retells the myth of Thyestes and Atreus, exposing the social and sexual politics of the late fifth century BC. The satyrs invade with their full-blown physical expression of the bestial qualities inherent in contemporary life, channeling forgotten rites and revealing a world both barbaric and beautiful.
