[Witcher Netflix] Mild spoilers Yennifer's party

Why did Yennifer ensorcell people into having an orgy?  I understand her bewitching people so they wouldn't bother her but why a Eye's Wide Shut Style orgy with her gawking in a mask?

I think they were trying to portray her as both power-hungry and listless/directionless/bored - and also to make it an interesting and grabbing (no pun intended) scene, of course. 

So what does an extremely powerful mage do when she realizes her goals (court, influence, being *seen* by the other magic users) are hollow and unsatisfying, what does she do? 

Just arbitrary, power-abusing, hedonistic stuff, right? 

Take total control of an entire small town because the Mayor disrespected you. Treat innocent things like porn puppets because you're bored. Not participate yourself because it's all just so boring and unchallenging. 

Then contrast Geralt. Enters the situation, not *as* disinterested as her, but still not very phased by his surroundings. Not as easily toyed with as the others. Catches her attention enough that she discards the rest. 

This immediately establishes a power dynamic between the two, and contrasts them to the 'regular people' to raise the heros up as special and interesting. 


tl;dr Yennifer did it because she's so bored and unchallenged - because she's come to believe her long-held goals are hollow and meaningless, and her new goals are unachievable - and so she wollows without purpose, doing impulsive and hedonistic things to try to find a spark of passion or joy.
