Journey to hell and back with a new twist on Gluck’s classic telling of Orpheus and Eurydice. A groundbreaking adaptation and conception by Lucy Tucker Yates and Kelly Kitchens of the legendary protagonist’s descent into grief and subsequent return to grace receives an intimate staging with all-female leading characters and creative team. In this timeless tale of love lost, lamented, and reborn, the anointed artist O slips into a feverish dream while sitting vigil at the hospital bedside of her mortally wounded wife. In the blink of an eye, O experiences a flood of emotional trials which threaten to forever extinguish the bond she shares with her beloved E. After demonstrating the depth of their love, O and E are led back from the brink by A (Amore) – the surgeon with the power to save E's life.
