Don't Look Back archiveOrpheus and Eurydice, one of the greatest of all ancient myths, is about the perils of looking back. At the moment he turns his head to see Eurydice sliding back down to The Underworld, Orpheus is locked forever in limbo - yearning for the past, aspiring to a future that will never be, unable to exist in the present. Don't Look Back is closely linked to its surroundings. The piece is not only about a journey to the Underworld, but also about the building in which the journey takes place. The project is re-designed for different sites that have their own stories, echoes and architectural features, affecting the form and content of the work. It ahs to be completely re-structured and re-created afresh according to the demands, resources and physical layout of each individual space. Some of the film sequences are also re-made at each locality. Previously, the piece has been performed at Stanmer House, a derelict Georgian manor in Brighton, The State Cinema, a disused Art Deco picture house on the Thames estuary, South Hill Park Arts Centre in Bracknell, the Hazlitt Corn Exchange in Maidstone and Somerset House in London.
