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
