Grendel: Transcendence of the Great Big Bad July 11, 13, 15, 16
Academy Award–winning composer Elliot Goldenthal and Tony Award–winning director Julie Taymor collaborate on Grendel, a ground–breaking opera premiere inspired by the Beowulf legend, as told from the monster’s point of view. Using film, puppetry, masks, and Goldenthal’s highly emotional score, Taymor creates an enthralling visual landscape and presents a Grendel that is a quintessentially modern anti-hero. With language ranging from medieval to modern, Grendel serves as a gripping theatrical allegory of the human struggle.
