Orpheus
By: Moved by the Motion
Premiere: 10 September 2021
60 Minutes
With a single look back, Orpheus banishes his beloved Eurydice irretrievably to the underworld and casts himself into deep mourning. The story of the mythical singer meets Moved by the Motion’s long-standing exploration of social visibility. Inspired by countless interpretations of the myth, the group turns Orpheus into a tragedy of the gaze and a story about overcoming death and the power of love.
