Ersan Mondtag's "orpheus#": A New Perspective on a Classic Myth

Ersan Mondtag's production "orpheus#" offers a fresh interpretation of the mythological story of Orpheus and Eurydice. The staging utilizes clear subtitles such as "Loneliness," "Death," and "Memory" to present the themes in a structured manner.Visual elements, including a Mickey Mouse face that acts as the gate to the underworld, give the stage a distinctive atmosphere. The cast, featuring Kate Strong and Florian Kleine, brings emotions to life through powerful expressionist dance and acting while exploring central themes of loss and the quest for identity.With its diverse approaches, "orpheus#" invites the audience to experience the classic myth in a contemporary context and ponder universal human experiences.
