"In 'De Lions', Beth Dillon examines her own family name and its supposed origins. While it is well known how family myths shape one's self-image and can influence one's biography, by following Beth in her attempt to pick up the pieces of her family china, the audience is reminded of how confronting one's own self-image remains a Sisyphean task, for which critical distance, humour and perseverance are essential."
