\u2018With lots of ideas and limited resources, this \u2018Orpheus experience\u2019 conceived by the Pygmalion team for the second edition of its Pulsations festival resolved the false contradiction between elitist opera and popular music, as if the ancient poet had slain this sea serpent of cultural policy.\u2019 (Concert Classic<\/em>, Vincent Borel, 2023)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Dantesque space of Halle 47, a former abandoned factory located in Floirac, the immemorial story of Orpheus and Eurydice, made up of pain, loss and heartbreak, is staged by Eddy Garaudel. For this highlight of the 2023 edition of the Pulsations – Bordeaux festival, spectators are invited to wander around during a festive and exuberant wedding… But soon, the lifeless image of Eurydice, lying on the ground with a head injury, fills them with dread. Invited to take their seats in the stands, they watch the poet Orpheus advance into the darkness and discover a hall that gradually reveals itself until, at the end of the opera, it reaches a depth of 90 metres. As in ancient tragedy, the chorus plays a prominent role in this work, embodying the wedding guests, the witnesses to the poet’s pain, the furies that prevent him from advancing into the Underworld, the ectoplasmic shadows of the Elysian Fields, and the echoes of the void left by the loss of Eurydice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opera was the subject of a film directed by Fran\u00e7ois-Ren\u00e9 Martin, broadcast on Arte.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
