Beowulf/Grendel
From Translations of BEOWULF by Meghan Purvs & Seamus Heaney
MOUNT MORIAH CEMETARY
APRIL 2016
Enter the cemetery. Follow one of two figure, standing in the sunset. You won’t know if you have yoked yourself to Beowulf, or Grendel -- until the end. There is a monster in the dark, atop a pile of bodies. Will you be able to see clearly enough to know who it is?
A site-specific performance that takes the audience on a journey through historic Mount Moriah Cemetery, Beowulf/Grendel invites the audience into a world where storytelling is always suspect, and any deed can wear the guise of honor.
