Once upon a time, there was a Maiden, blessed with the gift of prophecy.
Some called her mad. Apollo, wanting to claim credit for her gift, put upon her a curse: to never be believed...Because she refused to lie with him.
The Maiden suffered from an unknown and incurable disease, causing her to lay eggs, containing a plethora of ancient records, libraries, scrolls and prophecies. The queer cripple spurned men from her bed (except Satan), preferring women and androgynes. She even refused God from her virgin crown.
And above all, she was known for Her Voice. Magical cities would rise from its sound. For this, kings tried to capture her, to use her power for their slanted purpose.
Many times they tried to kill her, yet at the end of every civilizations’ reign, she would appear to prophecy its doom.
Some say she dwells among us still, yet her origin and cause of disease remain unknown.
Jocelyn Woods is a theatre artist in Cambridge, VT, with a severe neuromuscular disability, semi-bedridden and homebound for 17 years.
MADRELINGUA, a screenplay written and directed by Jocelyn, who plays the Maiden, will be filmed in her bedroom.
The play, presented by the Theatre of Ecstasy, to be filmed in increments during 2021-2022, follows the Maiden’s travels through time, from Lemuria to Ancient Troy to modern times. Interspersed with adaptations from Greek texts, Jocelyn’s script is a feature length epic with phantasmagorical characters of diverse gender, sexuality and body, represented by a diverse cast.
Resurrecting a Voice that has long been shunned and unsung, she is the Maiden of the Apocalypse.
Contribute to the unveiling of the Muse, that from one queer cripple’s bedroom all kingdoms shall hear the blasphemous Siren’s song. Your contribution helps with Jocelyn’s medical caregiver costs, as well as film props, equipment, tech, and cast/crew supplies, plus COVID tests for the team members to ensure safety while filming.
