Eurydice
A contemporary and inspired look at the classic tale from Greek mythology. As the story goes, Orpheus, a musician, falls in love with and marries an oak nymph named Eurydice. Upon her untimely death, ne plays music so mournful that the gods are moved to give him one chance to recapture his bride from the Underworld. So what did his wife think of all that ? Using rhapsodically beautiful language, contemporary characters and ingenious plot twists, Sarah Ruhl explores that question, retelling this classic tale of ill-fated love through the eyes of its heroine. Directed by Maurizio Giammarco.
