Goddesses
is a performance based on the myths of Orpheus and Eurydice and Demeter and Cora, which are linked by the motif of wandering between the worlds of the living and the dead. The moment of transition and the numerous representations of Hades in the culture inspired the creators to ask the question about the condition of gods and goddesses. It is a story about corporeality, pain, illness, but also about the search for identity, recovery and learning to understand one's own body.
