Exploring the themes of love, dedication, and fate, Flowers & Ashes: A Modern Greek Romance is a reimagining of the stories of Persephone and Hades, Eros and Psyche, and Orpheus and Eurydice. Featuring ballet, lyrical, disco, and contemporary dance, this is the Greek Myths done VivMo style.

Flowers & Ashes: A Modern Greek Romance features Jessica Jane Means and Venus Murphy as Aphrodite, Alison Odlin and April Kurtz as Persephone, Brigitte Paulus as Eurydice, Trevor Bean as Orpheus, Caelistus Paulus as Eros, Maren Root as Psyche, and Matt Begin as Hades.
