ORPHEUS UND EURYDIKE

TANZTHEATER BIELEFELD (2006)

The myth of Orpheus and Eurydice has been approached by many artists coming from music, film, literature, dance and many more. In his dance opera Gregor Zöllig tries to find a new way of dealing with the destiny of his protagonists and focusses on three main themes to break down the greek tragedy – the arbitrariness of death, trust and faithfulness towards a beloved person and the power of the arts.
