ORPHÉE ET EURYDICE TRANSES MYTHOLOGIQUES #4

But the young woman’s sudden death, on the very day of the wedding, upends the present, the future, and even the balance of the world… One might then ask: ‘Who stands to gain from the crime?’

Beyond the heart-wrenching love story, this myth highlights a universal conflict. On the one hand, those convinced of the need to overturn the existing order; on the other, the guardians of that order… firmly entrenched. They are all there: men, gods, souls.

But is the conflict really a conflict? Is it not, above all, the representation of a cycle of life? What, then, is the role of love?

The production gives each voice the space to express its uniqueness, its necessity, and its dreams too. Or its nightmares.

The music, performed live by the ‘Orchestra of the Underworld’, takes centre stage, evocative and indispensable.
