Orpheus
The eternal triangle: ART, LOVE, DEATH
Orpheus was the first musician and father of all song. His music relaxed beasts and moved stones.
Unable to accept his beloved wife's death, Orpheus descends to the underworld to bring her back.
His gentle notes soften the hearts of demons and of hell's master, who agrees to release Eurydice under the strict condition that Orpheus does not look back at her on their way to the surface.
He looks back.
Clipa Theater's Orpheus moves through the narrative, using dance and live music in a rich visual world of object manipulation and symbolism.
