The Curse of Ariadne

A reinterpretation of the legend surrounding Ariadne, who ultimately became immortal by marrying the wine god Dionysos. An epic story of female independence.

Ariadne, daughter of Minos and the cruel ruler of Crete has always been considered a helpless object unable to choose her own destiny, a commodity to be sold to the highest bidder. That is why, when the handsome, lovestruck Theseus arrives to renegotiate the terms of Ariadne’s subjugation, she agrees to run away with him, taking
her mother, Pasiphae, and her younger sisters with her to save them from her father’s abuse. It turns out that Theseus wants to kidnap the princess to use her as a hostage. The two are discovered and locked up in the labyrinth guarded by the monstrous Minotaur.

In this vast underground structure, full of secret passages and hidden levels beneath the island, Ariadne and the women are left to rot while Theseus reveals his most brutal nature. Ariadne can only rely on her resources outside the labyrinth if she wants to gain her freedom.
