*This play is performed in Russian.
In this freestyle, sensual, ironic adaptation of the ancient Greek myth, Orpheus is a street musician collecting alms with his hapless father at the train station. Eurydice is an actress waiting for a train on her way to another performance.
Love bursts out between them, inevitable as death and pitiless as life. Can't there be love without suffering? Is suffering necessary for creativity? And is it worth looking back?
Based on the play "Eurydice" by Jean Anouilh, "Don't Look Back" has been staged in Russian for the first time in 25 years. One of the last works by the great Rimas Tuminas, created especially for Gesher Theater and dedicated in loving memory of composer Faustas Latenas who wrote the score, the cast features veteran actors of Gesher Theater, alongside famous "newcomers" of the war wave, who repatriated to Israel after Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 22.
