Hrotsvitha Hremixes
What did those medieval nuns get up to in those cloisters? Hrotsvitha Hremixes presents three new adaptions of 10th Century convent dramas by Hrotsvitha of Gandershiem, overlayed and overlapped with movies like Mean Girls and Pretty Woman. Hrotsvitha Hremixes revolutionizes what you think you know about medieval drama, with plenty of sexy, sadistic, and satirical surprises along the way.
