Goddess myths, X-rated stories, spells and songs for adults only!
Sly, subversive, spectacular - pioneering storyteller Sally Pomme Clayton evokes goddesses from across the globe. Her hilarious, mysterious, powerful stories put goddesses in the centre of the narrative. Pomme entwines myths with memories, spells with songs, comedy with ceremony. She brings ancient myths to contemporary life with dynamic spoken-word, strange musical sounds, gesture and ritual.
Meet: Vesta the fiery virgin; Cybele the mother goddess who fathered a child; Ishtar Goddess of Love and War who journeys to the Land of the Dead. Follow the goddess from creator to crone, virgin to warrior, from lust to destruction to rebirth. And everyone gets a message from the goddess's oracle to take home! The Mighty Goddess is X-rated and for adults only.
The stories are drawn from Pomme's latest book The Mighty Goddess (The History Press 2023). The book combines myth with art - 52 goddess myths are illustrated with fabulous papercuts by artist Sophie Herxheimer.
This performance has appeared at: Tinners Moon Festival, Ashburton Arts; Words in Watchet Lit Fest; festivals in Sweden, Dresden, Leipzig; Capstone Theatre; Brigsteer Village Hall; Cheltenham Literature Festival; The British Museum; Guesthouse Storytellers Newhaven; Beyond the Border Storytelling Festival; East Anglian Storytelling Festival; Brockwell Barn; Watkins Bookshop; Chener Books; Rhythm Tree Festival.
