Summary:
A dance opera set to Gluck's opera of the same name. The choreographer has created dual roles, having Orpheus, Eurydice and Amor represented by singers and dancers alike. Voices recount the poetic myth, while bodies come to grips with the work's dramatic substance. Originally created for the Tanztheater Wupperthal in 1975.
