Disbelief  is a #MeToo retelling of the Cassandra myth – Apollo’s gift of prophecy to Cassandra, from her point of view, examining how women are perceived, controlled, and disbelieved (or dismissed).  Groenveld’s scintillating language explores the parallels of belief in a higher power, with belief in a powerful man, versus a woman being able to be believed at all. Featuring: Nora el Samahy, Michael Torres, Rinabeth Apostol, Aaron Wilton, and Christian Wilburn.
