Apollo, god of the Sun.
The ideal of youth and beauty.
Source of true knowledge
and symbol of reason.
He has lived in the universe of myths for centuries
pursuing Daphne, the nymph who became a tree,
competing with Marsias, the satyr who challenged him with his flute,
and sharing his oracle with the god of wine and lust...
Dionysus,
symbol of the innermost instincts and passions.
Apollo...
and Dionysus.
Two faces of the same reality.
Two forces which define our nature
and push us everyday to fulfill our desires,
dragging us into their world.
An imaginary world which has never became real...
... until now.
WHEN APOLLO MET DIONYSUS
ACT 1
Hi babe.
Has anyone ever told you that your smile…
... is perfect for a TV Ad?
With your permission...
I’ve had enough of that already!
Every day the same story!
I’m sick of that!
Don’t you recognise me?
Y… you… are you me?
What if I tell you…
... I’m the solution to all your problems?
What do you mean?
I mean...
... Daphne.
Daphne?
You wanna get it together with her, don’t you?
I can help you out.
Can you…?
Ahh, hahaha!
Can you help me to get it together with her?
What a guy!
That’s really funny!
Stop acting like an idiot!
And tell her your feelings…
It’s not so easy.
Daphne is no ordinary girl!
Ooh, so romantic!
She works for...!
... “you know who”.
And is that a problem?
Nobody can get close to her!
Last time I tried…
Do you want your loved one to think her hero...
... the one who’s going to save her from…
... “you know who”…
... is a...
loser?
Ok, what’s your plan?
Easy, boy...
First I wanna see how you manage yourself…
... in front of her.
C’mon!
Go for it!
Hi babe.
Has anyone ever told you that your smile…
... is perfect for a TV Ad?
What’s the matter?
What’s up?
That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard!
Ah, and what does the expert suggest?
Do not play a role.
Be natural...
... sincere.
Ok.
Daphne...
... I love you.
Now what?
You don’t need to be THAT sincere!
This is a waste of time!
Focus!
Don’t throw the towel in too soon!
I see. Things seem so easy from there!
But I’m the one who has to risk his neck on this again!
You’re right.
Hey!
Eh!
Hey!
Thanks for your help!
“I’m the solution to all your problems"...
You’re nothing more than my own reflection.
Just a coward like me.
Listen to me.
Give me a couple of hours...
... and I guarantee Daphne...
... will be yours.
Do we have a deal?
We have a deal.
ACT 2
"NARCISSUS ARRESTED FOR AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR"
Has anyone ever told you that your smile…
is perfect for a TV Ad?
Are you a publicist?
Let’s say…
... I do know about the world of images.
How interesting…
Not so fast!
We haven’t finished yet…
ACT 3
Mission accomplished.
Where is she?
On the bed.
Do you think she will notice?
Well, I’ve been very persuasive.
Now it’s up to you.
Let’s do it!
Honey!
We’re out of wine...
There is more in the kitchen.
What were you doing?
I had to…
... You know.
Why don’t you go back to bed?
Because I’m not sleepy!
Come on, come on, come on, I’ll get right back there in a second.
Why don’t we take a bath?
Now it’s not a good moment!
Why?
Because…
there is no hot water!
Wha...?
No, come on, go back to bed,
I’ll be right with you in a minute.
I’m so happy I was wrong…
… because the first time I saw you I thought you were a jerk.
Me too.
Eh?
I also thought you were…
... different.
Am I not as you expected?
No, no, no, no!
I mean you are…
... you are...
... perfect.
I'm sorry...
You’re not superstitious?
Relax.
I’ll be right back.
"Relax".
What a night I’ve had.
But it’s done.
Mission accomplished.
At last! I thought I’d never get out of here!
And you never will get out.
What? We made a deal!
Did you say something?
Nothing.
Girl’s talk...
