Eurydice
Eurydice is a poetic play that reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, focusing on Eurydice's journey in the Underworld after her untimely death on her wedding day. Reunited with her deceased father, she must grapple with forgotten memories of her past life while facing a life-altering choice. Through its exploration of loss and love, Eurydice offers a timeless and emotionally resonant experience that hopes to captivate audiences with its depth and beauty.
