The Judgment of Paris February 1, 2009

This show was a "Pick of the Fringe" at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Fest. 'The Judgment of Paris' mixes elements of theater, dance, music, naughty cabaret and can-can! Inspired by the Greek myth "The Judgment of Paris," in which the first-ever beauty contest occurred, and informed by the stage directions of the Baroque Opera of the same name (by John Weaver), Company XIV tells an epic story of lust, love, and tragedy, illustrating the events that lead to Paris' fateful decision to award Aphrodite the golden apple in exchange for Helen of Troy. Equal parts classical, contemporary, historical, and pop art, 'The Judgment of Paris' defies easy categorization.
