Pan’s Delirium
Some of you have probably heard the story of Pan’s flute, the wild and ancient greek myth, a half man and half goat, ruler of the forests, music and untamed. The myth tells of Pan, who relentlessly pursues the nymph Syrinx. In her desperation to escape him, she begs the river gods for help and is transformed into reeds. Pan, unable to possess her, cuts the reeds and fashions them into his flute, so that her voice becomes his music.
Pan’s Delirium tells the story of the Nymph: fragile, curious, and hesitant, who awakens by the river through the touch of Spirit. Observed by Pan, who longs for her, and guided by Spirit, who protects both, the Nymph begins to explore her own body, identity, and independence. Though she first appears as part of Pan’s dream, she slowly realizes she has a self beyond his gaze.
Pan’s Delirium is a story about awakening, desire, independence, and the fragile line between dream and reality. Told by a flute, a harp and a dancer. A performance where no words are needed.
