"Would you rather be locked up in the labyrinth and eaten by the Minotaur, or stay alive on this island but die of boredom? With MUT(H)OS, Julie Badoc and Maud Bouchat take on figures from Greek mythology. From the creation of the world to the Underworld, via the Minotaur's labyrinth, they take us from one myth to another, summoning Narcissus, Athena, Pandora, Zeus and many others to question the need to tell ourselves stories. The two actresses scrape away at the dark corners and foibles of the human soul with glee and insolence, drawing on the strength of their duo and the disproportionate power of masked acting.
MUT(H)OS is an ode to the imagination and creativity that can emerge from even the most abysmal boredom, inviting us to join them in a lavish epic in which laughter, human passions and weaknesses vie for the starring role, drawing us into a never-ending loop, bordering on mythomania and mythology.
