EURYDICE

I co-directed EURYDICE by Sarah Ruhl with Jill Marlow. the production was produced with Snails on a Bike, a theatre collective specializing in specific and found-space theatre. EURYDICE took place on the Chicago River at the Wild Mile, the world’s first regenerative floating eco-park, in collaboration with Urban Rivers. the sold-out, extended run ran August 23-September 9, 2024.

a contemporary adaptation that reimagines the myth of Orpheus through Eurydice’s eyes as she journeys to the Underworld and reencounters her deceased father. it is a story of trees and stones, rooms made of string and strings tied around fingers. underneath the music of falling rain, it is a story of how to love someone across great distance and how the people we’ve lost live on in memory.
