Written & Directed by Nancy Keystone
Nancy Keystone’s Alcestis is a visceral exploration of the life-and-death struggle of a woman who volunteers to die to save her husband’s life, and the deals people make with the gods to avert the death decree. Hilarious, heartbreaking, highly stylized and physical as only Keystone and Critical Mass can be, this piece freshly investigates the nature of sacrifice, death, and the overpowering will to live.
