‘Andromeda’ at JDT
At Guild Hall
The John Drew Theater Lab will present “Andromeda,” a free performance of a work-in-progress by Kate Mueth and the Neo-Political Cowgirls, on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
In the Greek myth, Andromeda was a beautiful princess whose mother’s pride led Poseidon to send a sea monster to destroy the Queen’s kingdom. Her parents chained Andromeda to a rock as a sacrifice to the monster, but Perseus saved her.
Ms. Mueth and the Cowgirls, a women’s dance-theater company she founded, engage the ancient myth, focusing on Andromeda’s thoughts as she is left for dead, and deconstruct it for examination from a modern viewpoint.
