About ‘MEMNON’
“
An exhilarating new epic resurrects the story of Memnon, the Ethiopian
king and demigod who rides to Troy’s defense, through Will Power’s
rhythmic verse, pulse-quickening choreography and music. Fresh from a
celebrated debut at the Getty Villa, MEMNON re-imagines a lost chapter
of the Trojan War.
”
— CTH
“...Power breathes life into a bygone dramatic format, filling it with words that, in their raw power, resonate with today's racial and gender politics.
It is a startling achievement.” ~ David Barbour of LSA
