Psyche — Moliere

A mortal s beauty a goddess s jealousy and a love that defies the heavens In Psyché Molière departs from his usual satirical comedies to deliver a grand poetic drama rooted in ancient myth Inspired by the classical tale of Cupid and Psyche this lyrical play tells the story of a young woman so beautiful that she provokes the envy of the goddess Venus As divine punishment looms Psyche is swept into a world of trials enchantments and forbidden love with the mysterious Cupid watching over her from the shadows Originally created as a lavish court spectacle with contributions from Pierre Corneille and composer Jean Baptiste Lully Psyché blends theater music and dance into an extraordinary celebration of beauty fate and love s redemptive power A rare gem among Molière s works Psyché is both a mythic romance and a theatrical marvel an ode to the power of love in the face of divine wrath
