What did those medieval nuns get up to in those cloisters? Hrotsvitha Hremixes presents three new adaptions of 10th Century convent dramas by Hrotsvitha of Gandershiem, overlayed and overlapped with movies like Mean Girls and Pretty Woman, revolutionizing what you think you know about medieval drama with plenty of sexy, sadistic, and satirical surprises along the way

About the Artist

Mopped Stage Productions connects those who study theatre with those who practice theatre by staging performances in support of emergent scholarship.

Playwright Alison Hyde Pascale is a performance scholar practitioner with a focus on how gender legibility has historically impacted the perceived efficacy of female religious ritual - in other words, she works on nuns playing pretend. Her work attempts to bridge the divide between the premodern past and the present by using nontraditional presentation methods - like play and performance - to disseminate her research on medieval ritual and female communities beyond the academic sphere.
