Eurydice from the clinic in Vlezenbeek

Summary/Abstract: The text is devoted to the opera dyptich Orpheus and Eurydice, directed by Romeo Castellucci and performed in Vienna (Wiener Festwochen, prem.: 11 May 2014) and Brussels (La Monnaie, prem.: 17 Jul 2014). The author gives a detailed description of the Belgian part of the project, but she also points out the similarities and differences in relation to the part produced in Austria. At the same time, Semenowicz places the performances in the broader context of Castellucci's earlier creative development, and makes numerous references to philosophy in describing the directing strategies. She particularly focuses on the ethical dimension of the performances.
