In their brilliant collaboration, Lyra, The Living Earth Show and Post:ballet embody the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, viscerally studying questions of empathy, technology, and our relationship to the natural world. The music of composer Samuel Adams, the movement of choreographer Vanessa Thiessen, and the cinematography of Benjamin Tarquin come together in the perfect balance of entrancing rhythms and captivating movement. Created both in quarantine and in person, Lyra seamlessly weaves together digital and physical realms, with The Living Earth Show gracing the stage with their refreshing sonic explorations.
