a new adaptation of Coriolanus by William Shakespeare
adapted by Andrea Rodel-Schroeder
directed by Maria Pretzl
By reshaping this classic Shakespearean work through a female lens, CORIOLANA evaluates the complex facets of female relationships and how they are perceived in society. With traditionally masculine traits now projected onto a female character, this immersive re-imagining explores not only a tale of violence and revenge, but a story of expectations and consequences. This new adaptation encourages audiences to choose a side and evaluate what traits we prize based on gender.
