It’s giving... masterclass meets standup meets party for Dionysus!
"Greeking Out - Mythology 101 is a new one-woman comedy show in a masterclass format. We’re greeted by Professor Ari, who, in 60 minutes, will test the audience’s knowledge on Greek gods, Greek myths, and trifle (yes, the dessert!). Professor Ari’s unique techniques and insights into the Minotaur myth will reveal new information that has never been shared before...It’s just a class, right? So what could go wrong?
Created and performed by Rebecca Perich, "Greeking Out" is a light-hearted comedy tackling an ancient myth that still resonates with contemporary audiences, and exemplifies how history is written by victors.... mostly, men. Perich says: “I wanted to share the untold story of the women that, in their quest for freedom, made a legend out of a man but were forgotten by history. Ugh! Greek mythology can be so dense sometimes... I wanted audiences to get excited about mythology. That’s why I loosely based the character on my high school Literature teacher. Her superpower was making Classical Literature digestible for a bunch of arrogant teenagers through satire and deep, dark humor.”
Following its debut at The Butterfly Club’s One Act Festival (Feb, 2025), the show is returning to Melbourne this October; but this time, as part of the Fringe Festival. It will be performed at a brand new black-box theatre, SPIELHAUS, located near Queen Victoria Markets and run by The Motley Bauhaus.
Rebecca Perich is a tropicobalkankan theatre-maker and repressed academic born in Venezuela, raised by Croatians, and has recently become Australian.
