The old Greek myth, inspired by the texts of Branko Miljkovic, transformed to ballet. Choreography is of a modern kind, expressive, manly at times, but lyrically intimate. Interaction of music and effects is intensified with the acting interpretations of the poetry of Branko Miljkovic. The ballet guest performed at the festivals in Novi Sad (2000), Arandjelovac, Negotin and Zajecar (2002), as well as at the international musical festivals at Varna, Bulgaria (2002) and Timisoara, Romania (2003). Till the end of the season 2003/2004 it was performed for 35 times.
