Euripides “The Bacchae” reimagined for the 21st century, Greek chorus sings praises for permaculture gardening. Non-binary Diane (Dionysus) returns to the Garden State to promote permaculture gardening and warn of complacency allowing environmental apocalypse. The message is a little confusing and absurdist gender-behavior humor obscures rather than enhances.
Also in Euripides’ “The Bacchae”, the moral is that humankind must incorporate sexuality and pleasure because repression leads to disaster. In Madeleine George’s “Hurricane Diane”, the moral is permaculture gardening must be adopted to avoid global warming catastrophe, and sexuality is treated as a joke. |
