'A family with a dark secret, a forbidden act committed by a sinful mother, a beast born with blood from the sun but kept in a sunless prison, a hero ready to slay the monster... But have you heard it all?
'Following its creative development at Testing Grounds 2022, "In the house of the sun" is the untold story of the women that, in their quest for freedom, made a legend out of a man, but were forgotten by history. An exploration on family dynamics, sex, violence, and freedom in a culture ruled by fear.
'Inspired by Pina Bausch's tanztheater, Damien Jalet's choreographic storytelling, Jennifer Saint's "Ariadne". Based on the story of the "Minotaur" classical myth.'
