Artemis Storytelling

From raunchy to poetic, sacred to profane, pioneering storyteller Sally-Pomme Clayton recreates the myth of Eros and Psyche in spoken word and living sound.

This mesmerizing performance brings together two classical texts, the romance of Eros and Psyche, and Plato's Symposium.

These texts are over 2000 years old but capture the contemporary imagination. Sally-Pomme combines poetic spoken word with musical sounds, evoking Psyche's search for love, and Socrates revolutionary ideas.

As Socrates is sentenced to death, Psyche falls asleep in the underworld. Plato's Symposium counterpoints Psyche's quest, asking - what is the path of love?
