Abstract
Composer/performer Rinde Eckert and director Robert Woodruff, creators of Highway Ulysses, have joined forces with video artist Denise Marika to create another stunning, contemporary riff on a searing ancient myth—this time the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. The famous singer Orpheus has locked himself up in his recording studio, where he dreams of rescuing the poet Eurydice from the underworld. Eurydice, meanwhile, is welcomed to the afterlife by the Queen of the Dead, who offers her something she could never have in the world above.
