The story

Orpheus cannot accept the loss of Eurydice, so when the gods offer him hope he ventures into the Underworld to challenge fate. His search becomes a journey through a strange, shifting world where memory and reality collide, turning the familiar myth into a story about grief, love and the desire to reverse what cannot easily be undone.

In the room

This version weaves Gluck’s original material together with new instrumental and electronic rearrangements and recompositions, blurring the musical boundary between old and new.

Good fit if you like

mythic love stories, journeys into the Underworld, grief and music that mixes classical material with electronic elements.
