Wim Vandekeybus develops the visual narration in 𝙄𝙣𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙊𝙛𝙛𝙨𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 through several media: cinema coexists with stage performance, dance with spoken word. All these languages enhance and exalt each other for a unique and ever recognizable signature.

Zeus and Hera, the supreme gods, will remain distant and unreachably divine on screen, next to their fiery, ambitious and above all infamous offspring on stage. All together, they form a 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆, where all members have their own strengths, ambitions and flaws. Jealousy, adultery, greed and many other aspects that belong to the human experience were infused and amplified in these unreachable characters, so that we could mirror ourselves.
