This play was a work in dance and lyrical dialog, standing on a pedestal of Greek and Celtic mythology. 

 

The three stages of the Inferno are referenced as structure. Here we place an Element - Fire. Her flamenco acting in opposition to the Rap/Spoken Word animal - Phoenix. Their destiny intertwined, but in conflict with Time, a god, and Fate, a goddess. Together they work against the lovers to either own them or destroy their power.
