'Goddesses' is a play based on the myths of Orpheus and Eurydice, and Demeter and Cora, which are linked by the theme of the journey between the worlds of the living and the dead. The moment of passage and multiple cultural representations of Hades inspired the artists to pose a question about the condition of gods and goddesses. It's a tale about carnality, pain, illness, but also about the search for identity, recovery and learning to understand one's own body.
