Kassia. The woman who acts despite her times. The great poet who dares to beg for her love and to turn her most secret passions into icons, during a time when the icon is persecuted.
Byzantium, during the Iconoclasm. The Emperor Theophilus is looking for a wife. He falls for Kassia, he marries Theodora. A few years later, Kassia is a nun. She writes a hymn. The hymn that Mary Magdalene addresses to Christ. Theophilus visits her at the monastery. She hides. He discovers her hymn and adds the last phrase.
A monologue about loves that live in the dark and religious writing as an act of love. A play about the fear of transparent desire.
