Paraíso is the story of an island. Kalis, a nymph, tells us about her journey with the Ménades who fled the mainland, the fires, the war, and the chaos. Drifting across the sea, Kalis and the Menads eventually arrived on the island, where they created a new society of sharing and conviviality. Recalling ancient times and the images that haunt her, Kalis evokes the ghosts of the past, including the figures of Charon, Eurydice, and Orpheus, before welcoming the Chorus of the Living, a group of newcomers to the island. A dance, like a rite of passage, then takes place among the Ménades to welcome the living, in a celebration of beauty, dreams, and possible worlds.
