Dead Wedding

T01311050239
This reinvention of the Orpheus myth is a macabre mix of puppetry, film and opera. The story unfolds in Hades, the land of the dead - a surreal landscape populated by desperate souls and corroding memories. Ripped apart by the fickle Bacchae, Orpheus is busy gathering his strewn body parts. If he can find Eurydice and persuade her to remarry him, they can be together for eternity, but she is desperately trying to wash something terrible away...
