About

Eurydice Fragments is a contemporary version of the Orphean Greek myth that fuses powerful vocal performance, dance, extended reality, motion capture, and interactive technologies. Through an immersive exploration of our digital and carbon existences, the performance dissolves the binaries we are bound to from birth until death, and strums the threads between heaven and hell, male and female, maker and muse, performer and audience.

Co-created by Luke Hathaway and Teiya Kasahara, The story follows O, a trans person whose sense of gender and identity is expansive — yet who has lived a fractured life. Haunted by past experiences and personhoods that have been suppressed, repressed, or condemned, O journeys to the Styx, a queerbar, where they find the opportunity to express themself through avatars in extended reality. As O navigates the fluid landscapes of identity and technology, Eurydice Fragments challenges us to question: how do we navigate the vastness of our identities in spaces that resist our multiplicity?
