Seven independent vignettes follow characters undergoing transformations associated with possession, madness, and violence. Each scene is punctuated by part of the tragedy of Pentheus, while Dionysos watches unseen; the ensemble returns at the end to describe what followed.
Tobit is blinded after giving a proper burial to a murdered fellow Jew, so he sends his son Tobias to recover money owed by a relative. Guided by a stranger who is the angel Raphael, Tobias defeats a great fish and wins Sara, whose husbands have been killed by the demon Ashmodeus. Tobias cures his father’s blindness with the fish’s gall, and Raphael reveals his identity.
