“Orpheotic” is an original theatrical work by Ellen Zahniser that reimagines the Greek myths with a blend of noise music, movement, and narrative text transposed all at once into a key of queerness, deathwish, and physical disintegration.

Orpheus is infatuated with his own mortality in song. Ganymede processes his time as Zeus’s adolescent lover. And the Devil worships beauty, ego death, and absolute diffusion.

Guided by a Greek Chorus-inspired ensemble representing the unified voice of everything in the world, audiences are led across the realms of the living, the dead, and the little places in between.

Live ambient music will be performed by Iris M during the pre-show doors and intermission.
