Dionysus was the Greek God of Ecstacy, Wine, and Theatre, also called Bacchus, who travelled through distant matriarchal lands with women claiming their Rites of duality, liberation, and joy. In our Hidden Territories version of Dionysus' return to Thebes, the Bacchae (women gathered from around the world) are rematriating their own languages, ritual, ceremony, and story, such as Anishinaabemowen, as well as Chinese, Polish, Kechua, Hebrew, and Spanish in addition to English.
