Review: "MEDUSA" at La Monnaie Explores Haunting Choral Soundscapes

MEDUSA at La Monnaie opens with a sound that feels like it’s coming from somewhere far away, then closer, then right at your throat. An eerie choral orchestration approaches in waves, growing louder and heavier, until the stage itself seems to answer it. A black set begins to move, pivot, and breathe, with fingers hanging from its surfaces. Then Medusa appears in white, framed by long red hair, while her two sisters, Euryale and Stheno, orbit her in black robes and strange headpieces, like omens.
