Synopsis
Inspired by the myth of Ariadne Hanging on by a Thread adopts the labyrinth as a metaphor for the human psyche. Fascinating and seductive, Ariadne is a modern woman infused with the myths of the past. The dancers reflect the twists and turns through her complex path while interweaving his/her own labyrinth of life.
