Troades (Greek for The Trojan Women) is the legend of the women of Troy at the conclusion of the war. Having spent 10 years laying siege to the city of Troy, the Greeks resorted to the trick of the "Trojan Horse" in whose belly soldiers hid; emerging at night to slaughter the Trojans and win the war. Now the survivors, the women of Troy, discover that endings are often beginnings.
Rooted in the form of ancient Greek tragedy, Troades remains a hauntingly beautiful and tragically poignant story. The VORTEX breaks ground to change the Chorus into individuals who tell not only Troy's story but one of their own existence. The new text by playwright Susan Kelso, choral music by Sean O’Malley, and stylized moment deliver a new telling of this timeless story.
