Vocal Motions Elastic Theatre embarks on an epic journey across the different depictions of Mary Magdalene through the ages. A cross-cultural cast of actors, dancers and singers tells the stories of this character through vocal music, contemporary dance and a devised text, based on original historical documents.

WHY MARY MAGDALENE
Traditionally known as the silent repentant sinner of the gospels, the figure of Mary Magdalene has recently inspired popular fascination. Conspiracy theories suggest new, increasingly controversial ideas about this character – not silent, not simply repentant, but a bold and charismatic leader in her own right.

Elastic in their flexible and inventive use of space, Vocal Motions Elastic Theatre’s productions can best be described as a cross between dance theatre and contemporary opera, exploring cutting edge ideas in the combination of vocal music, devised texts and contemporary dance.
