Monthly Myths with Marcus
The old stories, when given the time and space, have tremendous power to give meaning, healing and beauty, to contemporary audiences and their lives. For Marcus, who is of Dual heritage—Black Afro-Caribbean and White European— every retelling resonates this truth deeply. That's why he started Myths with Marcus.
Myths with Marcus as a platform has three core purposes:
- Reconnect people with their imagination.
- Reconnect people with their ancestors.
- Reconnect people with themselves.
During the evening these reconnections, or re-memberings, are facilitated by two key elements: the stories and the audience's imagination.
At the beginning of the evening the audience will be asked to reflect on the questions, ‘Where do you find yourself in your imagination right now?’ Another way of phrasing this question is ‘if this moment in your life was a moment from a movie or a book which moment would it be?’ After awakening the imaginations. A story is then performed, the audience will then be asked to reflect with the questions, "Where do you find yourself in this story? How does it resonate with your life?" Reconnecting with our ancestors, making sense of our lives through the timeless tales that have been shared for generations.
