25.01.2022 Xenima (prn. ZEN-i-ma) calls upon the sacred circle of the stay-at-home parent (whether it is their choice or by necessity; no matter what gender), to find a moment of calm and serenity in a day filled with chaos and never ending snack requests. Unintended garb generally consists of yoga pants, slippers and messy hair-bun. She is the patron of counting to 10 before speaking, intuitive practice and drinking tea despite its temperature. #NewGodsInTown #Isolationmayhem #DionysusTheatre_aus #tooclosetohome

22.01.2022 Clowdah Daughter of Hestia, Sentinel of Triumph and Keeper of both Pandora’s and Victoria’s Secret, Clowdah (prn. Clow-da) exists to prop up those who droop and sag, offering support to all. From her mother she has inherited the art of hospitality, and provision of sanctuary to both human and animal kind.... While all animals are adored and welcomed, Clowdah is always to be found surrounded by felines who worship her devoutly, as do her many followers. Or perhaps it’s the other way around. One can never be too sure with felines as like their goddess they are curious, contrary, and capricious. Those who worship Clowdah know the cats are her familiar companions rather than a mark of loneliness or poor mental health as a patriarchal society might have you believe. This empowered lady of cats has chosen the magical number of three. It’s a good number. Good for courses, for Musketeers, for witches, and for Clowdah’s Clowder. #NewGodsInTown #DionysusTheatre_aus #Isolationmayhem #familiarfriends

22.01.2022 Goddess of treating oneself. Selfcarious is rarely seen without a glass of Aldi Special Shiraz and a face-mask to ensure that healthy isolation glow. Her robe of supreme comfort was forged by the citizens of Target and ensures she remains in a constant state of relaxation. The crown she says, is just because. After all, who needs an excuse to wear a crown?... #NewGodsInTown #loveyourself #Isolationmayhem #DionysusTheatre_aus

20.01.2022 Teahoardis (prn. Te-a-hor-dis) also known as the Goddess of a good cuppa & proclaimer of hoarded mugs. Teahoardis is normally found first thing in the morning, as the sun hits midday, and at 3am while four episodes deep in a popular crime series on said streaming platform. She blesses humans with reminders halfway to the kitchen to clean out the bounty of used mugs in the bedroom, the bathroom, the study, and the back porch. #fortheloveoftea #NewGodsInTown #DionysusTheatre_aus #Isolationmayhem

19.01.2022 Apospo The goddess of distraction. Her fickle affections are highly sought after by those undergoing tasks of great labour and length. Those granted her favour will never succumb to the temptation to turn from a task; the siren song of distraction will fall on deafened ears. But beware, for however productive her gifts may seem, she is equally hard to find. Choosing, often, to spend her days shrunken to the size of a thumbtack, she wanders through the forest of forgotten thi...ngs in the top of wardrobes and underneath beds. With the other gods of Olympus too focused on their mighty agendas, Apospo finds company instead with curious house cats and the souls of ex-lovers whose hearts were poured into love letters that now sit discarded and discoloured in a drawer. #NewGodsInTown #Isolationmayhem #DionysusTheatre_aus #distractions

16.01.2022 Despite his burly appearance, Minoguedite is a God that champions gold hot pants, killer perms and harmonious pop. You should be so lucky, should you ever be in his presence. Legend has it, if you hear a singing budgie, it means Minoguedite isn’t far away. #NewGodsInTown #IsolationMayhem @DionysusTheatre_aus #KylieMinogue

05.01.2022 Be warned! Never come between Chocollo and his sweets. Many battles have been lost by those foolish enough to challenge this tooth-decaying God. Be sure not to leave sugary cocoa goodness out for guests as Chocollo will strike. He lives amongst the Toblerone Mountains. #NewGodsInTown #DionysusTheatre_aus #Isolationmayhem

04.01.2022 Vassilisa-Energista Vassilisa-Energista is a goddess of our time but you would never know it. She comes from a long lineage of shapeshifters on her mother's side. Meek, mild, never shirking her responsibilities. By day she dons suit and heels, exceeding all customer service expectations with her sharp intellect and generous smile. By evening, she is the Quizlet queen, helping the young to excel in their ambitions. On the weekend, she is the creator of delicacies both heavenl...y and comforting to those privileged to encounter her hospitality. At every opportunity she is an advocate for the vulnerable, an activist, a force of nature for nature, from whence she came. She lends her power to those who are forgotten, such as the Orange Bellied Parrot. When called upon for ad-hoc assignments, she rises to the challenge, drawing upon her formidable knack for problem solving and mostly her unparalleled determination. Crimson wine, verdant forests and azure expanses of ocean are her ambrosia #NewGodsinTown # IsolationMayhem #Phew!

03.01.2022 Good luck to our wonderful cast and crew on their opening night tonight! We hope you absolutely adore the show!

01.01.2022 Meet APHROFRIGHTE: Aphrodite’s lesser known, evil twin of the under world. She is known for her ghastly appearance, bad temperament and aggressive attitude towards potential lovers - frightening people away from love making. Beware lovers! She has been on a rampage during isolation, possessing partners who you once thought were godlike and causing them to destroy all patterns of hair washing, tooth brushing, exercise routines, changing out of pyjamas, for some - even showerin...g she abolishes all chances of a good mood leaving spouses with tempers that are salty and savage. It’s a horrible state of affairs, if you know someone who has been possessed please tag them below so we can track the spread of these frightening attacks!! What’s her motivation for being so evil, you ask? Underneath it all, Aphrofrighte just understands every lover’s pain of the hard work that goes into being a god/goddess all the time. To her, it’s much more fun frightening lovers away #DionysusTheatre_aus #NewGodsInTown #lovetolove #Isolationmayhem

01.01.2022 https://youtu.be/-Pd10V6tbKc Romeo & Juliet Act III, Scene I: A plague on both your houses Throwback Thursday!
