Lent Week 1
Eidolon is the Ancient Greek word for ghost, dream, or vision, and the play is meant to be a dream-like fairytale or folk-story, making use of familiar, yet unsettling, archetypes, and playing with the border between fiction and reality. The story follows Sasha, a nonbinary immortal jester who interacts with the audience and also functions as the play's narrator, Þjórsá, the play's main character, a very confused and reluctant hero, and Penelope, a prophetess who's come to rescue her old love, on a journey through the dark woods, along which they meet ravens, monsters and old gods.
