EURYDICE

In this adaptation of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, the story of Eurydice takes center stage and her relationship with Orpheus is put to the test. The newlywed couple are torn apart by Eurydice’s sudden death. Eurydice descends into the underworld where she meets her late mother. Whilst she finds a way to come to terms with her fate, Orpheus struggles with his grief and searches for a way to get her back.

Complex relationship dynamics, tragic deaths and the questioning of one’s own desires and passions are reflected in this reinterpretation of an ancient love story. What if Eurydice managed to return from the underworld with Orpheus? What does overcoming death do to a relationship? What happens when we challenge our fate?

In a parallel retelling of what happened and what could have happened, Stage Left spin a tale of love, loss and identity.

An original play by Stage Left Vienna, inspired by “Eurydice” by Sarah Ruhl and other adaptations of the myth
