An expe­di­ti­on to the sour­ce of the Styx has taken Karen Røise Kielland and Katja Dreyer to the heart of Greek mytho­lo­gy. This mythi­cal river was thought to be the bor­der bet­ween our upper world and the under­world. The water made Achilles immor­tal, made Narcissus fall in love with his own reflec­ti­on, and mere mor­tals lose their memo­ry if they drink from it. Through ima­ges, objects, move­ment and sto­ries, they recon­struct their extra­or­di­na­ry jour­ney. They bre­a­the new life into an old myth through numerous encoun­ters with local resi­dents and their sto­ries about the river. The per­for­man­ce begins with mul­ti­pli­ci­ty and cha­os, but the clo­ser to the sour­ce, the more order and mono­chro­me silen­ce begin to surface.
