Orpheus and Eurydice, 2012

In collaboration with Yara Travieso and Chat Travieso

Lumber, hardware, satellite dish, continuous performance of aria from Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo

Two towers personify Orpheus and Eurydice of Greek myth. A live opera performer sings from Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo with his back to the audience, as Orpheus’s back was turned to Eurydice’s as they ascended from the underworld. A satellite dish bounces his voice to the audience across a distance, resulting in a surprisingly intimate experience.
