Daphnis and Chloe – Reimagined
The story of Daphnis and Chloe is one of the most famous love stories in world literature. The ancient story is about the origins and coming of age of the young main characters and how they find happiness in love. But as is so often the case, not everyone finds this happiness and so the hopes and dreams of many of the secondary characters remain unfulfilled.
Linus Mahler reimagined Longos‘ story for his final piece, which deals with the fates and stories from the point of view of the secondary characters, thus casting the world-famous story in a completely new light.
