Hermaphroditus
Rose Gold Productions and Dead Name Theatre in partnership with Necessary Angel present:
HERMAPHRODITUS dir. Cole Alvis, follows a lesser-known Greek Goddex, living outside the gender binary, and their ascent to Olympus. The Greek pantheon is enacting anti-trans legislation that is putting Hermaphroditus and gender-non-conforming deities and mortals alike at risk. They attempt to take their place on Olympus to set things right for all of the trans people living under the rule of Zeus' repressive regime. Filled with poetry, burlesque, and drag, this new production feels especially poignant for the current political zeitgeist. This world premiere will be presented July 5-16, 2023 at the Toronto Fringe Festival.
This production of Hermaphroditus is generously supported by a grant from Community One Foundation’s Rainbow Grants. The show is also present in partnership with Necessary Angel Theatre Company, which has been influential in the Canadian and international theatre landscape since 1978. This is Rosalind Goodwin’s inaugural production with her company Rose Gold Productions.
