You know my name (Pythia)

Step 1. The Journey

 

 
The starting point for the work is how our identity deals with the co-existence, of both a primitive ancient part of our brain and on top of that, a further developed civilized part in the front. To categorises it in the term of the old Greeks, the co-existence of the Apollonian reasonable and logical thinking and its’ contrast, the Dionysian chaos and appealing to the emotions and instincts and how all great tragedies, is based on the tension between these two. Seeking inspiration in previous eras, the ritual in this film has a myth.
