"A strange phantasmagoria of lost desire".

ODC ENSEMBLE _ Greece

First collaboration with Greek director Elli Papakonstantinou, who offers a queer / operatic retelling of the Bacchae myth.

This piece finds itself at the intersection of these flows: queer aesthetics / a pop piece with classical operatic overtones / a dance piece with immobility at its heart / a cinematic concert: from Greek tragedy to the metaverse.
