SYNOPSIS
The power of the myth lies in its reimagining and in its retelling.
Our protagonist is living in a place in time where her very existence as a female is a violent fight against a patriarchal society. She must call on the mythical wild woman - a female dark night of the soul - to bind her submissive self so that she is powerless. Both women are opposites but part of a bound spiritual self: two being representative of the spirit as split in a kind of transcendental binary; one that shifts in an ongoing fight for power and expression.
