For centuries, the myth about Orpheus and Eurydice was perceived through the perspective of Orpheus. In Shadows, Jelinek allows Eurydice to speak first, and it is not by coincidence, because exactly in this moment she sinks into the silence. 

A play by Elfriede Jelinek, an Austrian playwright and novelist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature, is one of the typical post-dramatic texts – there are no classic situations, it is written in prose like an interior dialogue, introspection. It offers various ways of interpretation from the producers. The new production will present to  the audience three Eurydices. Three voices emerge from one person and decompose the immemorial myth about Orpheus, who set out to the underworld, looking-for his woman Eurydice.

English subtitles.    

The production was created with the support of the State Fund for Culture and the Young Artists Foundation.
