Eurydike

In the organizer's words:

Ballet by Fran Díaz | Music by Krzysztof Penderecki, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki and others

from 14 years

Eurydice stays behind. Fran Díaz retells her story, often told in the shadow of Orpheus' song, for the Leipzig Ballet. Eurydice is not a marginal figure, not a muse, not a prisoner of a love that was destined for her. She is a woman searching for her path - in a world that both shapes and denies her desires.

Eurydike's myth unfolds in a society that constantly strives forward and yet often remains stuck looking back. In a world in which people become roles and relationships become expectations, Eurydice becomes a mirror for questions of our time: What does freedom mean? And how do we escape a system that defines us before we can find ourselves?

With a keen sense of the fairytale and the timeless, choreographer Fran Díaz opens up the space to rediscover Eurydice - as a symbol of resistance to getting lost in a whirlpool of guidelines, dreams and desires that are not our own.
