Aeneas is a refugee in exile, fleeing a war-torn Troy and seeking new roots in Europe. Shipwrecked in Carthage, the meddling gods intervene; they fill Queen Dido with all-consuming love for Aeneas. In Marlowe's unsettling tale of sacrifice, the lovers must decide whether to follow their hearts or fulfil their political destinies. Dido, overwhelmed with passion, is propelled to her terrifying final act.T1404050972Script in hand production.Company L6L21. Performer Thallissa Teixera. | |

T2099897538This new show re-examines the ancient story of Dido and her tragic love affair with the exile Aeneas. The production concentrates on the love between these two exiles in their struggle to find a future. Two damaged individuals who have lost so much are thrown onto a foreign shore to share their love and their fears.
