• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  From Eurydice we know that she was bitten by a snake and that Orpheus worked to save her by bringing her back from hell. We also know that Eurydice is the first opera in history to have come down to us (Jacopo Peri, 1600, preceding Monteverdi’s Orfeo by seven years), and that so many composers have seized on the myth that it is almost impossible to count them.

  Dmitri Kourliandski (Russian composer born in Moscow in 1976) seized it in turn, he plunges us into the solitude of Eurydice, surrounded by electronic voices whose distortions we imagine are caused by the distance which separates her from the world. of the living. The long and magnificent poem by Nastya Rodionova on which the piece is composed, divided into seven arias, is an intimate introspection, a dive into a pictorial and haunting environment. A dark experience.

  To stage this new Eurydice, Antoine Gindt asked Dominique Mercy, Pina Bausch’s iconic Orpheus in 1975 for Gluck’s opera, Orpheus and Eurydice. This role he lived, embodied, transmitted, he acquired an inaccessible memory. He finds Eurydice elsewhere, as in a dream. These two journeys, that of Orpheus and that of Eurydice, take place in two space-times; they come together on stage and give this show its strangeness and its fascinating hypnotic dimension
