Sally Pomme Clayton undresses the myth of Eros and Psyche – recreating Psyche's journey from romance to the edge of existence, stripping back the myth to reveal hidden Platonic ideas.
The performance combines two aspects of classical culture – a mythical romance with Socratic dialogues. Plato's Symposium acts as a counterpoint to Psyche's quest, as the character of Socrates is evoked, with his sharp humour and cutting mind.
Socratic thought weaves through the performance, asking – what is the path of love?
Suitable for theatregoers aged 13 and older.
