Magdalene: I am the utterance of my name
A music-theater piece created and performed by playwright/actress Sylvia Milo and composer/percussionist Nathan Davis.
“Magdalene: I am the utterance of my name” is a work of music-theater that illuminates the myths, beliefs and contradictions that have surrounded Mary Magdalene for over 2000 years. Drawing from ancient texts, artworks, and contemporary writings, the piece centers the revolutionary message from her banned and buried 'Gospel of Mary Magdalene,' lost for centuries.
Equal parts theater and ritual, “Magdalene: I am the utterance of my name” is a transformative and spiritual experience that wrestles with flawed histories in an attempt to reach true transcendence."
