Children of the sun
A Hansry art piece inspired by Aristophanes myth/speech from Platos ''Symposium'' on the origin of love and desire.
In short people used to roam the earth attached to each other, back to back, never being able to look at each other. Two men were called children of the sun, two women children of the earth and a man and a woman were called children of the moon. But they got too powerful and Zeus struck them down and separated them. They scattered and would spend their life trying to find their other half, trying to push themselves back together again.
look up also the amazing song ''Origin of Love'' that does a short retelling from the musical ''Hedwig and the Angry Inch''
