Orpheus and Eurydice dissects the great questions of life, death, love, perseverance and faith from the perspective of individual responsibility. The story is a parable of hope, of our ability to keep to a word of honour or pledge, to be true to ourselves and to stand up for what we believe in through all the difficulties that beset us. It is about human self-sacrifice, of the journey we all must make as an unavoidable concomitant of human existence. It is about winning love back from death, abo...ut rescuing love and passion and rejecting friendlessness and solitude, about the impossibility of a passionless existence, about the acceptance of life’s ordeals and the rewards and fulfilments that follow. It speaks of service to gods and to higher powers, and of the individual’s profound insignificance in the world. And, as all this is conveyed through the character of a minstrel, in other words an artist, it also deals with the necessity of the artist and of art, and the power of the arts to overcome death itself. Orpheus and Eurydice was staged in the past by Yvette Bozsik’s two great icons, Pina Bausch and Mary Wigman, and the choreography for this production is thus a formal tribute and commemoration of their work. Presented by: National Dance Theatre
