The epic myth of Oedipus is reborn as a Pentecostal ritual that remakes prophecy as testimony and brokenness as transcendence.
A man condemned from birth searches for grace. A choir lifts him up. The congregation—the audience—bears witness to his tale. But here, tragedy is not an ending—it’s the road to deliverance.
Director and Pulitzer Prize finalist Shayok Misha Chowdhury gathers a powerhouse ensemble to bring this legendary work to life and build a space for us to gather, rejoice and transform.
