A DIVINE THREESOME
(CLANCARNAL remix Eros and Psyche)

A story about love, jealousy and revenge in a world of trash, fish and mountains of objects. The Gods laugh, the psychiatrist is confused and the performers are hopelessly in search of their roles. While the tragedy turns into comedy and the comedy into an obscure horror, Eros, Psyche and Aphrodite end up in an exhilarating divine threesome. Maiorino is known for her instinctive and unconventional way of working. She remixes Apuleio’s myth of Eros and Psyche with a contemporary and surrealistic eye.
