Orpheus and Eurydice
The relation of being close and far from each other and the opportunity to see each other in light (life), but not in the dark(underworld). I want to represent the Underworld as a place that we can notice what happens. I’ve chosen shadows, smoke and blur effect as key words for my performance. The character is not noticeable, is a costume that moves into darkness. A figure, that starts the performance all gathered inside the costume looking solid and then trying to change shape. Focusing on the moment that Orpheus want to take Eurydice back to his world, but I what to show Eurydice’s state. The change she gets from being a dead body into living and then she end up dead again and back to Underworld. My idea is to express her condition through costume movement. I want her to look as a transparent soul, trying to find out her state.
