Polyphème

About the show

Polyphème is embittered because Galatée, whom he loves, now loves Acis. He tries to renew his bond with her but lets her go when she rejects him. As the lovers grow closer, Polyphème obsessively questions the boy Lycas about their intimacy. When he sees them sleeping together, he chooses not to crush them with a boulder, blinds himself, and walks toward the sea, with Lycas helping him touch Galatée one last time.
