Porca Miseria - Triple Bill
Author(s): Trajal Harrell
Company: Manchester International Festival
Age recommendation: 14+
This new trilogy is based on the stories and battles of three very different, but equally strong women: Maggie from Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, the African-American choreographer and activist Katherine Dunham, and the Greek mythological Medea.
Through them, Harrell explores issues of identity, gender, sexuality and power, breaking down the boundaries between dance, theatre, cinema and the visual arts.
