Miss Julie by August Strindberg has been performed every year since its inception, in spite of its actively misogynist preface where Strindberg said “[women] will always be born stunted and can never catch up to [men] in the lead.” The Julie Cycle reimagines the play as a cyclical purgatory nightmare, where Julie finds herself living multiple lives as multiple characters, and struggles to discover a way to escape the tragedy that awaits her at the end of the play. Can we ever really overcome the epigenetic and societal trauma that sculpts us? Can we find a way to challenge the systemic burn of sexism and class to see each other as equals? The Julie Cycle is an adaptation sure to have Strindberg rolling in his grave.
