Leontios Toumpouris and Floricienta Iuvenalis collaborate to construct a narrative on desire in which rituals, fiction, history and mythology are entangled. An altar dedicated to Goddess Aphrodite accommodates offerings, and limited edition silk scarves and perfumes only for the chosen ones, accompanied by a sound piece that recounts the adventures of the troubadours.
