About Gladiatrix
In 200 AD, Emperor Septimius Severus decreed that women could no longer compete in the Gladiator Games. And while the games were occasionally home to Ludi meridiani (Events intended to be public executions)- For many women, the arena was place to exist outside of typical gender norms. What happens when an empire mandates how women use their bodies?
Gladiatrix brings this untold story to life through a mix of storytelling, song, and stage combat. Inspired by true events, this electrifying production explores the strength, sacrifice and resilience of the women left behind. Her story, lost in history.
