Don’t Look Back is a site-responsive promenade performance inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.
The moment he turns his head to see Eurydice slipping down into the underworld, Orpheus is locked into a perpetual limbo – yearning for the past, aspiring to an uncertain future, unable to exist in the present.
As you wander through rooms, corridors, hallways and stairwells, you will experience an accumulation of sounds, shadows, whispers, landscapes, musical fragments and fleeting film images, conveying a heightened, dreamlike state that lingers long in the subconscious.
Presented by Arts Projects Australia and Adelaide Bank Festival of Arts in association with Adelaide Centre for the Arts, TAFE SA a Helpmann Academy Institution and supported by the British Council Australia.
The audience will be admitted in groups of three, at five minute intervals. Book a departure time when purchasing tickets.
dreamthinkspeak is co-produced by ArtsAgenda.
