Akalaitis tapped Oscar nominee Philip Glass to create an original choral score for Nicholas Ruddall’s adaptation of Euripides’ work, which “re-imagines the classic story about what happens when a government attempts to outlaw desire.”
The cast also features George Bartenieff as Cadmus, Karen Kandel as the Chorus Leader, Joan MacIntosh as Agave, Steven Rishard as the Cowherd and Rocco Sisto as the Messenger.
