Keiren Minter as Eurydice’s father

 In this reimagined version of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, Ruhl explores the journey of a young woman who is torn between the love of her life and the uncertainties of the afterlife. When Eurydice is tragically lost, she navigates the underworld, encountering her father and contending with the enigmatic and at times surreal forces that govern life and death. The play features a striking blend of poignant dialogue and ethereal imagery that invites audiences to reflect on the bonds that connect us, even in the face of separation.
