Orphée

Opera by Philip Glass

based on the scenario of the eponymous film by Jean Cocteau

1/2" scaled model, lighting collaborator: Jen Riser

A poet's midlife crisis. A writer's wonders and desires are reflected in one's own creations. 
A blend of real life and fantasy. The borderline starts fading away as Orphée writes. 
There are multiple Orphées on stage; they are creations of the writer Orphée's  thoughts and storylines.
Underworld where spirits are stuck doing what they had been doing before death; there is no way out of it.
