Do you have what it takes to join a secret society and meddle in the affairs of the gods? Find out at Mysterion, a responsive theatre experience by the Hellenic Museum and Medusa RPG.
The Medusa Society is recruiting initiates and preparing to perform a ritual that will dissolve the boundary between worlds, in the hopes of stealing the secrets of immortality!
Little do they know their ritual has interfered with an argument between Hades, ruler of the underworld and his wife, Persephone, who is bound to his dreary domain for six months of every year. As winter approaches, Hades has grown lonely and impatient for her impending return, but Persephone is hesitant to leave her family and wishes that she could once again live in the sweet, eternal summer of Olympus.
With the boundary between mortal and immortal worlds blurred, initiates will have four hours to resolve this crisis between Hades and Persephone, while helping the Society to uncover the secrets of life, death and immortality.
Are you ready to join the Medusa Society? Then join us at Mysterion, two nights only: Friday 5 & Saturday 13 July. Learn more and book your place via the Hellenic Museum website.
