In the ancient city of Thebes, the god Dionysus returns to claim his rightful place among the mortals. But his arrival is met with resistance from King Pentheus, who refuses to acknowledge the god's divinity. As the conflict between the two escalates, the city is plunged into chaos and madness. The Bacchae, a group of women devoted to Dionysus, become possessed by his spirit and wreak havoc upon the land. In a climactic confrontation, Pentheus is torn apart by his own mother, who has been driven to madness by the god. The Bacchae is a powerful and timeless tragedy that explores the themes of religious fanaticism, the clash between tradition and modernity, and the destructive power of unchecked passion.
