The plot
This show updates the myth of Apollo and Daphne to reflect on gender violence.
Apollo is an arrogant and powerful head of state who, blinded by his ego, sees Daphne as a reward he is entitled to, ignoring her rejection. Cupid, here an elderly and disillusioned figure, is unable to prevent Apollo’s obsession. The story focuses on possessive love: the god pursues Daphne and tries to rape her, to the point of causing her death.
Apollo is unable to tolerate her refusal, while his grief is only a public charade.
The work is a reflection on the relevance of Ovid’s tragic ending, denouncing the inability to accept rejection and the destruction that follows.Gallery

About
The project
Beatrice Monroy – with readings by Stefania Blandeburgo, Gigi Borruso, Rinaldo Clementi, Giuseppe Cutino, Consuelo Lupo, and Sabrina Petyx – recounts the plots of the Operas staged at the Teatro Massimo to the audience, as well as the historical and cultural references on which the librettists based their work.
Our aim is to bring to the audience the extraordinary stories that inspired the Masters to compose their masterpieces.
