An outdoor production of Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice.

Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice takes the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and shifts the focus to the ill-fated heroine’s perspective. Following her untimely death, Eurydice finds herself in the underworld; there, she happens upon her Father and a chorus of characters as she tries to remember her past and her love before embarking on the journey that has kept her story echoing through centuries.

The production is a continuation of Keller’s artistic research toward pedagogy for dance performers expanding skill sets into the theatrical acting space. In collaboration with Maddy Petz’s movement style, an outdoor setting, and entirely reclaimed materials, this production of Eurydice hopes to find a playspace of whimsey, vulnerability, and an explosion of emotion for both the performers and the audience.

"Eurydice" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
