Description

The god Dionysus, master of theatre and spectacle, kicks off a party. He brings together music, wine, satyrs and maenads (women who follow Dionysus). One satyr gives us a satyr dance – a staple of the satyr plays that accompanied Greek tragedies. Dionysus knows this is a performance, but do the others know?

The animation was created from a vase made in Athens in the 5th century BCE (now in the National Museum in Warsaw, in Poland, number EXC43).
