Summary:

José Montalvo and Dominique Hervieu, choreographers, offer an extravagant version, between opera and musical, of one of the greatest myths, combining dance, song, text and image. In this story with many faces, scores by Monteverdi, Gluck & Philip Glass combine while the hero turns into a one-legged hip-hop dancer or an acrobat on stilts. The myth of Orpheus thus revisited allows us to think of love, seduction, and power, with moments of grace, humor and fear.
