ABOUT ABOUT

Psychopompos - a new mythology presents a live recording of The Weeping Stone with the Trap Open Series.

Audience members will participate in a live recording of the myth The Weeping Stone. In this tale, Niobe of Tantalus, revered as goddess among mortals for giving birth to 14 children, compares herself to Leto, an Olympic goddess of motherhood, inviting the wrath of Leto’s twins: Artemis and Apollo. In Psychopompos - a new mythology’s retelling of the classic myth, the hubris of mortals is set against the unbending will and ultimate vengeance of the gods. But who is at fault: a mortal rising higher than Olympus wishes, or the gods above, who demand humility and supplication?

Join us to find out and to participate in a live recording session of this podcast. Audience members will help create crowd sounds and be guided through an hour long interactive performance.

The performances are on Saturday, October 5th at 7:00pm and 8:30pm.
