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..
