Cassandra
Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025
(31 Jul-17 Aug: 5:30pm)
What does it mean to be believed?
Cassandra sits in Apollo’s temple, mind shattering under the weight of predictions never believed. A spaewife is thrust under the waves of a loch. An island witch is put to the pyre. Their voices ring in the ears of their murderers. In an Edinburgh tenement, a girl daubs slogans on cardboard placards, ignoring the prophecies whistling on the wind.
Traditional storyteller and musician Ailsa Dixon blends Greek myth, Scottish folklore and personal narrative into an exploration of prophecy, protest and survival.
Stories are stirring. The north wind rises.
