Beloved for its noble simplicity, Carsen’s stylized interpretation of the haunting Greek myth of Orpheus is minimalist, stark, and experimental.
The divinely gifted Orpheus draws on exquisite musical talents to beg the gods for the return of his recently deceased wife, Euridice. Permitted to bring her back from the Underworld on the condition that he not look at her or explain why—at the risk of losing her forever—Orpheus embarks on a journey that proves, once again, the enduring power of love.
