Her story is more than two thousand years old, but what would Medusa say if she had a chance to speak for herself? Jessica Fudim’s solo, "Venomous," presented by Cannonball as part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, combines contemporary dance, video projection, whimsical props, amped-up party dancing, and moments of audience collaboration that move Medusa’s story beyond that of a snake-headed monster and dig into the complexities of whose voice is centered within the stories we tell.
"In Jessica Fudim's Venomous, Medusa is Monster No More"
–Lily Janiak, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
“There are many myths, versions, and stories of Medusa, and pain, betrayal and hurt are at the core of them all. It takes a beautiful, healing soul like Jessica’s to sort it all out and find the survivor and hero in her story.”
--Alyssa Conder, SONOMA VALLEY SUN
"trailblazing"... "bad-assery"... "gorgeous and fun"... "so deeply moving."
