A barren woman’s dream of children makes her unwitting prey to manipulation by a serpent god. The serpent fulfills her dream, and caught in a coil of desire and seduction, the woman conceives. Years later, that joy long forgotten, the legacy of her serpent children becomes too much to bear, and leads her once again to the serpent god to seek retribution for his false temptation. Ultimately however, the power to right this betrayal lies elsewhere. Serpent Woman is an extraordinary tale with a happy ending. Dance, drama, music and glorious costuming come together to present an entertaining, dynamic and thoughtful work.
