The Love of the Nightingale

About the show

Procne and Philomele are sisters; after Procne marries Tereus, he becomes obsessed with Philomele. He lies that Procne is dead, murders the captain who loves Philomele, then rapes her and cuts out her tongue. Philomele tells Procne what happened through dolls, and the sisters take revenge by killing Itys. The story ends with Philomele, Procne and Tereus transformed into a nightingale, swallow and hoopoe.
