Bacchanalia - ein göttliches Spiel

In the organizer's words:

An ordinary flat share. The slob, the popular one, the one who's never at home and the oddball. All completely normal. Apart from the fact that they are ancient, powerful beings. Ancient deities who used to play with human destinies like others play with cards.

It could all be so nice if it weren't for the immortal parents and the odd inter "human" relationship...

A queer look at ancient mythology, packaged as an absurd chamber play in which the characters try to get rid of their human problems and are drawn further and further into the abyss of human existence.
