A fantastical twist on the Orpheus myth, 'Eurydice' follows the story of his wife, lost on their wedding night. After falling to her death, Eurydice finds herself in the Underworld; but the dead speak another language, and with the help of her father, she must re-learn her human tongue to remember the world and husband she left behind. A visually stunning, whimsical story, our characters move through a world of talking stones, raining elevators, letters sent through the earth via worms, and rooms made out of string. Ruhl’s sexy and imaginative wonderland is drop-dead captivating.
Curious is thrilled to collaborate with Ballet Nouveau Colorado’s Artistic Director, Garrett Ammon, for the production of 'Eurydice'. “Personally, one of the most exciting things about the project is the collaboration with Garrett. Not only does he bring an exciting, added physical dimension to the show through his choreography and movement work, but also, his contributions to the overall aesthetic and vision for the show have been tremendous. It has been a wonderful partnership, and one that will greatly enrich the finished product of 'Eurydice'.” Says Curious’ Artistic Director, Chip Walton.
'Eurydice' runs March 7-April 18, 2009 at Curious Theatre Company, 1080 Acoma in Denver. Tickets available through the Box Office at 303-623-0524 or online at www.curioustheatre.org.
