Agave becomes the victim and the means of revenge for the son of Zeus and Semele, who as a character does not appear until the very end. While the main conflict takes place between Pentheus and Dionysus, Agave speaks only in the final act, after the infanticide.

This is why, in developing this text, in which the voice and central focus are given to Agave, we aimed to explore the root of her problems and dissatisfaction. The question we began with is: who is this woman today?
