Description Sub-titled Memories of Pillage, Cucolo's The Trojan Women is the second in a trilogy that compresses elements of classic Greek tragedies and transforms them into poetic and confronting movements...based on text by Euripides, Jean-Paul Satre and T.S. Eliot, The Trojan Women has no definite narrative line but draws the audience into an almost surreal environment, playing with time and memory, cavorting with conflict and agression and, through repetition and ritual, altering perceptions.
