Pan & Syrinx

In the last breaths of bacchanale, two lovers are told the tale of the great god Pan’s violent pursuit of the forest nymph Syrinx. As the story’s violent end unfolds, the lovers are haunted by the parts they find themselves playing. The film refracts the myth through layers of song, identity, and performance: at once a ballet, a trans fantasia, and an exploration of love and power.
