An interdisciplinary, multimedia performance of highly interactive dance theatre.
Orpheus is the project codename for a performance premiering in February 2012, a unique theatrical experience that puts you, the audience member, at the center of the story.
In the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, Orpheus descends into the underworld to retrieve the soul of his beloved Eurydice, but at the last moment tragically fails. This project gives the audience a chance at the same mission, and this time success is an option!
All creative collaborators are students of Colorado College, with choreographer Kate Rafter directing and tech genius Taylor Black on scenography and technical direction. We're working hard to make all of the art featured in the show truly original: choreography, dramaturgy & playwrighting, set & costume design, music (electronic, instrumental & vocal), sound design, sculpture, 3D art, and film.
Show dates are February 9-12.

VIP Sponsorship: The Ultimate Experience! Over the course of four nights, the show is presented to audiences in the "group journey" format and the much more intimate "solo journey" format. The number of solo journeys are extremely limited. Only a dozen ticket holders will be randomly selected to be the sole audience member and the main character of the story. By becoming a VIP Sponsor, you are guaranteed this once-in-a-lifetime personal experience.
