-
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...
